Q&A 2023 Your questions answered!

Published 2023-01-06
At the end of last year we asked you to send us any questions you had about us, about Cornwall or about the channel. In this video we answer as many as possible! Will we answer your question?

The standard description bit…
We are Sarah and Andrew and we film our walks around Cornwall and publish on YouTube, usually weekly. Sometimes we stay in accommodation in Cornwall and upload our vlog. Sarah is fascinated by sea glass and likes to collect it so there may be the occasional sea glass video too. The channel is a hobby and we both have normal day jobs!

We love your comments and read all of them. We also answer as many as possible. Unfortunately, we cannot answer comments received more than a week after publication.

Frequently asked questions:
What are your dogs called?
Sorry but we do not release the names of our dogs but perhaps you could make up a name for them!

What camera do we use?
Since December 2018 we have used: Canon Powershot G7x MkII

How do I find the books you use?
Most are still in print although some we pick up in charity shops and may be available on Amazon secondhand. Please refer to the video for the book titles. Every video shows the book three times. Sorry but we can’t put a link in every description.

Best time of year to visit Cornwall?
We love May, June for flora and fauna, July and September for spectacular scenery.

  • So glad you chose Wheal Coates engine house Sarah. I think it must be the most photographed one and on so many adverts leaflets etc for Cornwall
  • Great video . Hidden gem Hawkers Hut Morwenstow. Stunning view. Barnecutts pasties 👍.
  • @DerekGM6
    Thank you so much for cheering up my evening, such a pleasure to listen to you both bouncing off each other. Your videos make me realise how lucky I am to live here in my old farm cottage surrounded by daffodil fields at Rose-an-Grouse
  • Hidden gem - Scrade Beach. Can be visited by doing a St Genny's to Dizzard circular walk. It is quite a strenuous walk but the view walking down to Scrade Beach is absolutely breathtaking.
  • I'm in Cornwall and have found your videos very informative. You have taught me a lot of things I never knew. I don't do much walking and don't venture out much these days, particularly during the summer months, so thank you for all your wonderful videos. Interesting that you met at the Norway Inn. That is just up the road from me as I am in Perranwell. It used to be a great pub back in the day. Visited Poldark Mine back in the 1980s. I am not sure if it is still a tourist attraction.
  • What a fun video - enjoyable to watch with many diverse questions. You came across so relaxed like having 2 friends in for a chat. Keep doing what you do - you do it so well & we look forward to your ‘to do’ list for 2023.

    Hi. I'm a long time viewer and first timer commenter. Publishing a book is easier than it was, there's such a thing as print on demand therefore no need to get 100s preprinted. As for publishing Amazon is easy to get books on. Write your book, get a print on demand company to print them when they sell, sell via YouTube, Amazon, Pateron etc. Low cost startup and great potential. I've a few out there that I've have written on my behalf. Hope this helps, I met you once with my son in a large builders store outside Truro. Keep up the good work.
  • Brilliant video! Really enjoyed it! Those splits at the end looked so good … and love the crimpometer!! Thanks for all the work you put into every aspect of your really enjoyable videos each week and for this really fun and easy to watch Q and A! Happy new year!
  • Happy New Year Sarah & Andrew!...can't think of a better way to start the new year than with such an entertaining (and informative!) CWT Q & A session. It's kick-started my whole January - thank you! To my mind you have the perfect balance of content/variety in your videos, so please don't change a thing. Cornwall and the Cornish should be so proud of you two for promoting and bringing us all the very best of Cornwall and Cornish culture. Only Cornish born & bred could do what you do, with your cultural, historical and family histories & insights. Keep on doing what you're doing...just love it :)

    Liebe Sarah und lieber Andrew, vielen Dank für eure tollen Videos. Wir waren in 2022 in Cornwell ! Stonehadge , St. Ives und viele andere wundervolle Orte! Leider sind wir nicht bei den Blasen ( für Pflanzen etc.) gewesen, vielleicht komme ich ja noch einmal alleine nach Cornwell. Ich wünsche euch Gesundheit und immer heile Füße❤️

    Thank you for all your videos, as a Falmouth girl 6K miles from home and missing it terribly, you bring me mentally home every time! On my last visit home we did the pednvounder beach hike, parking at Treen. I have to admit did not realise it had a nudist element, each to their own :), I managed to get as far as that big rock overlooking the beach but the last climb down beat me. I was uncertain about my ability to get back up! But the views with the tide out the water turquoise, absolutely stunning. Hiked to Porthcurno where had a swim (water baby) and of course an ice cream topped with clotted cream. Then hiked back to Logans Rock, where I scrambled in unladylike fashion but did not manage to the end and then on to Penberth cove finishing with an early dinner in the Logan Rock Inn. All thanks to you two doing this walk in one of your videos, never knew about it before. I think it has to rate as one of my all time favourites!!! Nearly killed me getting back up from Pednvounder mind!!! So thank you and keep doing what you do, you are a breath of fresh air.

    What a pleasant hour and a bit. Like being with old friends...at certain times during the video I wanted to join right in with the convo! Loved the wedding photo and the people from past and present to invite to a dinner party! Think I would have had to have Winston Graham along to ask him all about Poldark of course and a certain Mr.Turner would have had to be there too! But Agatha Christie was a good choice! Love a bit of Poirot and Miss Marple. I used to work for the NHS too Sarah. Retired now. Things have changed a lot, say no more.....you two keep walking and we will all keep watching. Here's to the walks in 2023...looking forward to them. Anything to do with Holy Wells...St. Clethers etc etc and Madron Well would be lovely. x J x

    Regarding sea glass, I have found there is more chance of finding it, plus things like driftwood, on more remote beaches and beaches in North Cornwall rather than West and South where you get more tourists and where I live near Penzance there is a concentration of artists and crafts people who grab it all up for their projects.
  • @Glyn69
    Should do a Fern Pit visit on the Gannel and discuss with the Northey owners history of the ferry at the mouth of the Gannel and further along when it ran many years ago from Tretthelan farm area across to Penpol creek Ah, yes, lady in the cave hopefully not covered in sand during the winter
  • The Cornwall annual is actually quite a good idea , history artifacts ghosts, walks, stories , mystery photos etc oh and really bad jokes
  • @cathydyer3774
    Wonderful! You two are SO nice. I could see that you were getting more and more tired but you kept going. Thank you for answering so many questions and for showing us your lovely wedding photo. Brilliant.😊🧡🧡👏👏😊
  • @swest-gj5wb
    I'm about six months late to this, but thank you, as always, for your videos and joy! Made me smile so much :) 🧡
