  • Autumn is a wonderful time of year to enjoy a coastal walk. Stunning sunrise and so much to see. Wild flowers, fruits, birds and even beach combing. Join me as I talk about the various things I find on the shore. Some wonderful drone footage of the area and then some incredible underwater footage of the undersea world. Followed by a beach fire lobster cookup.

    A man that can make animal excrement interesting, whose drone footage is superb, whose knowledge of plants and seaweeds is an education, who takes us underwater and films that amazing world and brings it into our houses, is a man to be admired. His view of Cornwall is the real view of that wonderful county, away from the commercialism. This is an amazing video, nice to see James looking so well. Thanks for a wonderful 45 minutes.

      Jacques Yves Cousteau was responsible for the invention of the aqua lung -or re-breather. It was developed during the second world war and it was used primarily by divers to attach limpet mines to the bottom of Japanese ships. They used mini- subs so they would be undetected. I read a fascinating true story of one such heroic adventure and adapted it in one of my books.

    Fascinating John really enjoyed the information packed video, never feel bored with your content or presentation. Please keep going and look after yourself and the family, I will be taking the weekend off, to show my family the bright lights of Scarborough and hopefully a surprise visit to Whitby and the coast thereabouts to look for shellfish, with the tutoring I have acquired from The Fish Locker.
    Love everything you do and hope one day to cross paths and give Captain James a big hug, by the way it's my 60th Birthday on the24th of October and though it should be a celebration, due to my twin brother Anthony dying last December I will not be doing anything to celebrate the day except scattering his ashes around Scarborough where we both loved to be.

    Watching in Hamburg! When I was a kid we would holiday every year in Cornwall or Devon. This is where people from Yorkshire are wrong, the South West is God’s country.
    About forty years ago we used to travel to Padstow for May Day, and the first thing we would do is go down to the rocks and collect mussels and anything else that was edible.

    I, for one, love watching and learning about the region outside of the literal dive, fishing, foraging, etc. parts, which I also love, dont get me wrong. Hearing about the local flora and fauna, even though I live a world away, is super interesting and much appreciated. And the safety reminders are a bland aspect that I'm glad you still remind us of.

    Wow, that 44 minutes went so fast. Totally enthralling all the way through. The drone footage and beautiful piano music was so emotional I found myself welling up a bit one time. The stone walls at the beginning were gorgeous. Real craftsman job. Lovely to see James as always. I imagine all your viewers feel rather paternal/maternal towards him. When you peered over the cliff and asked "How do I get down there?" I had an answer. Tha needs a bigger drohhhn lad. Buckle on and fly tha'sen down. I've been watching the subscriber tally. Seems to be creeping up steadily at about 1000 per week. This time next year it'll be half a million I'm betting. Also loving to see such support for the channel from all over the world. Englishman living in Aberdeenshire now. Living the outdoor live vicariously through your wonderful videos.

The subscribers are what makes this channel what it is. So many people showing that although there is distance between us a passion connects us - and I think that is wonderful. 😊 Take care David and have a great day.

    There was also the famous story of the wreck of the Iron Crown. painted by a well known American artist Homer Winslow a recluse who resided in Cullercoats, He turned up in a horse drawn cab. The little man with a waxed moustache witnessed and painted the scene in 1881. The stricken vessel ran aground just past the the Priory at Tynemouth. Hundreds of villagers came to the scene as fishermen from North Shields or (Sheils) as it was better known which meant (hut) launched the life boat. The huge swells broke off the mast of the Iron Crown and it crashed to the deck as the men on board hung on to its rigging. The life boat was rowed out and the waves threatened to swamp the boat and the ship, sending them both crashing against the rocks. Captain Carl Kopp stayed on board with some of his crewmen as twenty men were rescued. When the men were safely in the lifeboat they rowed ashore. The lifeboat set out again and Captain Kopp and his crewmen came ashore unharmed. It was a daring rescue. Homer Winslow captured the scene in water colour and it became one of his most famous works.
