Cambridge Walk - Backs Colleges Walk | Cool Dudes Walking Club

Wow made it here first.. Will watch and comments.. love it !

Hey Rowan, who's this Cambridge reject on your channel?

Another fine looking specimen of a video you have made dear MarekEven glasses Marek contributed
Teening it in the 70's wasn't too bad Enjoy Life Folks Thank You Marek for another Smile on me Dial

Never been to Cambridge so this was cool. 😊
The Star Wars fan in mee figured it out was the C - inside a cow
I’d want to grow up in the 80s 😊

My friend was a fellow of mathematics there. One afternoon he took us punting on the cam with champagne and strawberries. I decided to have a go punting after several glasses. I fell in and lost my prescription sunglasses and killed my phone. Was terribly embarrassing walking back dripping with everyone giggling at me. It’s very cold the water. I have no business punting.

I was born in the sixties so loved the seventies and the eighties 😊

Great Thumbnail ! Recognised from Ludwig of course. Nice one !

You certainly get around, Marek. Another exceptionally good video. Thank you.
I got the 'cows belly' question right. I knew the answer wasn't one of the UDDER ones.
I'm happy to have grown up in the 1950's. My father was a jazz musician, so grew up listening to all the old greats. When I was at school, a friend mentioned Elvis Presley - I said, "Who?"

I used to work at a place that proudly boasted of having THE NEWTON'S APPLE TREE in its grounds which is how I discovered there were actually a bunch of them all around the country. What a swizz!

Nice one cool dude, and not a in sight.

Second time I saw you today Mr Marek. First time was with Mr Spicer. Oscar winning performance as always. 🙂

Teen in the late 70's early 80's and I loved it.

Great video as always. Correction... "Although there are a few establishing exterior shots of Cambridge University, sensitivity to the story’s accusations of anti-Semitism caused Caius College (pronounced ‘Keys College’), Cambridge, the alma mater of runner Harold Abrahams (Ben Cross), to refuse permission to film on its property, and Eton College, north of Windsor, Berkshire, stands in."

Teen in the 80s. The music was great (I write about it in Blitzed Magazine). I enjoyed the 80s... and 90s! But perhaps the or 50s and 60s would be great to visit... or, alternatively 3500bc or so.

Hey my home town! I love St John’s and take every opportunity to visit if there is an exhibition or event on. The old library at St John’s dates back to 1600s and is well worth a visit.

I went punting and the guide didn’t appreciate my question as to how many times he had twated his head on the bridges. The sarcastic response was that they hadn’t due to their understanding of the distance between the punt and head. It was probably because I couldn’t remember the name of Sir Christopher Wren who managed to get a few jobs in the area apparently. Think they thought I was pretending to know who he was but everyone knows he designed St Paul’s in London.

What a beautiful place, why is it called the bridge of sighs? The sound of students off to exams? As for decades I loved the 80’s, loved the 90’s and being a teenager through the britpop years but I’d love to have experienced the art deco 30’s and seen the 40’s and experienced the world the way my now 92 year old nana did 😊

The '80's, as I did - god, the excess! We fit a whole century into 10 years!

Teen of mid 80’s to 90’s great times.

Born 1971. It was about perfect timing, music wise.

I don’t think Shakespeare mentions ferries once, not even in the tempest, what a twat, well done for not going to Cambridge

There is a bridge of sighs in Pittsburgh. 🌉Teen of the early 80s-90 - good times.

Another cool video......cool dude. 👍

"Do you think Shakespeare believed in fairies" sounds like the phrase you say to wake a sleeper agent
I feel like I did ok growing up in the 80's and 90's, although i would've loved to have been old enough to have attended in person a QUEEN show with Freddie 🤘🏻

I'm very happy to have done most of my growing up in the 70s and my teens in the early 80s. In particular I appreciate the ability to have worn flares unironically.

Early Gen X was fun.. excellent music. art school days in Sweden.

i was born in '74, but would have liked to have been born earlier so I could have witnessed the 70s punk scene.

Born 60's , teen 70's, I liked lots of music produced then and lots produced since . I prefer stuff made today. I believe Shakespeare believed in what ever suited his purposes .

I think maybe 70s. I was a teen in the 90s, so not too far out but I mean I bought the New Kids on the Block albums on tape and thought it was good when I could have been buying much much better music.

Born 1960 - very happy to have everything good from the 70s (shame about Thatcher)

How can some supposedly great bookshop be selling books that long and not have the Spotters Handbook in the window? Talk about a rubbish shop!

Teen in the '80s-'90s. Can't help wondering if '70-'80s would have been better. Maybe just a "grass is always greener" thing.

Love hearing about mad interviews like the one you mention. Years ago, I went for a job on an obscure web-search engine. The interviewer mainly shared his conspiracy theories regarding the Middle East. Didn't really describe the position or tell me why I had/hadn't gotten it. I left bewildered. (On reflection, I suspect it was already gone and he was just filling in the time.)

Chariots of fire set the scene in the courtyard for dramatic effect but the four minute mile actually happened at the universities sports field.

Stay cool!

Excellent walk! We have family in Cambridge and visit often but have never seen inside the colleges. Really must do a proper tour of the city. Thanks for another brilliant video

Another great video!

Nice One Cool Dude👌👍👍👍

Cambridge = cycling capital of the UK. Academia heaven = Oxford, Cambridge & not forgetting The University of Southampton & Portsmouth among others, (have to mention latter 2 as sons attended!) Another great walk with interesting info & what a lovely elegant dress the lady was wearing at 4.55.

I’m a porter

Nice one cool dude! I am a reject of Corpus Christi in 1996 (my dad had studied there) although I was put into the pool for the other colleges to consider, but I was not selected from that so was effectively rejected for a second time! I applied for Natural Sciences, but my interview was entirely about physics, by far my weakest subject, and I floundered... I may have preferred to have been a teen in the 80's, but the 90's was ok. Stay cool

born in the 60s; growing up in the 70s was pretty cool - probably why I'm a cool dude

Apparently Tim Keys was a member of the floodlights society but not at Cambridge, he lasted until they found out he wasn't enrolled at the university

Our home city! Do go up the tower of Great St Mary's. Cracking views!

We are of a similar age, I dont think i would change when i was born.

Dinky Doors
Ya

If you are on one of those river vehicles are you a punter or a puntee? Or just a lucky punt.

When Hannah worked there we lived in West Cambridge and the quickest way to walk into town was through John's. The back gate used to be unlocked so we got in for free. But now they lock it, bah! I agree about visiting one college. The prices are just too high for what they are. Obviously they're great, but there's not enough variety to justify dropping 50 quid.

Great video. I was inspired to compose a limerick about a young man in a punt.......

Definitely happy to have spent my childhood and teen years in the eighties. Power dressed my way through and great music and films...the secret of my success etc..very few films have aged well 😂
