096: Chepstow and Lancaut (Wye Valley 2018)

WYE VALLEY WALK FEATURING CHEPSTOW, CHEPSTOW CASTLE, OFFA’S DYKE PATH, LANCAUT AND WINTOUR'S LEAP

"Chepstow and Lancaut”
Filmed 22nd March 2018
Post-production completed 13th April 2018

I return to Chepstow near the mouth of the Wye Valley, the town where I spent the majority of my childhood. I revisit many of the places I remember and reminisce about my life when I lived there. One major part of living in Chepstow was that it was where I first discovered the enjoyment of walking in the countryside, so on my return visit today I decide to go on a walk, which was one of the very first walks I ever did as a child…..

Filmed in the Wye Valley in the counties of Monmouthshire and Gloucestershire. Locations include Chepstow, the Dell, Chepstow Castle, Lancaut and Wintour’s Leap. This is the first in a series of films in 2018 celebrating 25 years of “The Solitary Rambler”.

Written, researched, directed, camera and sound, edited and music by Patrick Leach.

"The Solitary Rambler" is my series of amateur films of my journeys in the countryside accompanied by my own musical scores, which I compose and perform on my Yamaha keyboard.

Please note that, as with all the films I make, this is not actually intended to be an extensive guide to the area. This is a mini-movie of my personal journey along the walk, in which I often share some of my own personal stories.

If you are new to my channel, I strongly recommend reading the description under the “about” tab, which will provide a clearer understanding of what to expect in my films:    / solitaryrambler
