Hunting A Tidal Bore: River Ribble Preston - NATURE'S POWER - our narrowboat life adventure

- čas přidán 5. 06. 2024
- The Power of Nature - since crossing the Ribble Link (see our two videos on this) the whole tidal river thing has piqued my interest and curiosity so in this video I go down to the banks of the River Ribble in Preston, Lancashire, and see if I can catch the tide coming in. It's supposed to be FAST so hopefully I'll be quick enough and we can capture the footage from the ground, and from the air. Fingers crossed!

Thanks Elliott. That was interesting, with some very nice drone footage.
Thanks for that Neil 👍
Well done Elliot very interesting tc now the oldies 👍
Thanks you two!!
Wow Elliott, that was amazing!!! All that nothing time, but then, with the tide came in ... brilliant! Thank you for all the hours of boredom (at times) spent to be able to show such a wonderful natural event like a tide coming in, and coming in with gusto! Greetings from half a world away.
Thanks very much for that 👍👍😎
We’re glad you enjoyed it from afar 🕺🏽
Elliott, that drone shot was incredible. I have only seen water move like that once before and that was at the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick.

Thanks Mark.
Bay of Fundy - that’s a new one we will need to have a Google of 👍
That was interesting,,,,,,,thank you young fella!
Thanks Ian. Hope all is well with you guys?
Stunning footage once more Elliot
Thanks David 👍
Great video mate the drome footage was awesome take care both of you x 😊
Thanks David 👍 Hope you’re well?
Very nice video Elliott
Cheers Gary. It was a glorious morning!
It was interesting to see that they were releasing water from Preston Dock (at the end of the video).
Some good places to watch the tide coming in are:
Freckleton Naze: This is at the corner of Freckleton Creek, opposite Astland Lamp and the River Douglas. There is a14m trig point and you are high up. There's a couple of benches there. Walk out there on the Lancashire Coastal Way from Freckleton Boat Yard or the Ship PH.
Lytham (not St Annes!): Probably the best place to see the bore is at the west end of The Green (100m grass strip alongside the promenade). This is where there is spot where inshore fishermen launch. The tractors to tow the boats out are there. They drive down a natural cobbled 'road' that goes 45 degrees towards the sea (R).When a big tide comes in. It usually forms a standing bore wave as it tries to cross this 'road'.
Also, about 1/3mile upstream, quite near the Windmill, there is a wooden jetty for the lifeboat and the sailing club to launch. You can walk right down this to be very close to the water at low tide. This gives the opportunity of a water level view of the tide coming in. You can walk back in as it floods the jetty.
Thanks Nick. That’s some fantastic info there!!!
Might need to carve a little time out and go and check out these places.
Is Lytham in a no fly zone for drones (I’ll check that out) but it would be great to see it whatever the circumstances because the tide coming in like this is almost ‘majestic’ if that doesn’t sound soppy wouldn’t you agree?
@@NarrowEscape1 I don't know the rules about drone flying I'm afraid. On the one hand you would be flying over the water which only has a bit of recreational use. But the two spots at Lytham are probably on the flight line from BAE at Warton. Freckleton spot is off the line but only about 1/3 mile to the side of the runway.
Great video, loved it.
Thanks for that 👍
Thanks for that Elliott it was so cool to see. Sorry you had such a long wait for its arrival 😂
Thanks Paul. At least the weather was on my side! 👍
The wonders of nature, 🙂I'm down on the South Oxford, just having an easy afternoon and trying to catch up.
Hi K - what a lovely part of the world -
Enjoy!!!!!
A massive Hi to you Elliott.
How did i miss this video?
I was there with uou watching waiting in anticipation for the tide to turn and wow did that come in fast its a massive woosh waves speed was masdive unlike anything i see here on the camel estuary padstow to Wadebridge...
Put a new video out ladt week got more footage for next video just no tome to edit lots going on down here mainly blooming beautiful sunshine.
Might go rogue with a short video of a bird sanctuary i visit when down here might not be kayaking but worth a watch see what time i have.
In next few weeks off to kefalonia more videos of no kayaking again lol.
Hope youre both well miss you guys. Youll have to let md know when you're close to the midland area again. Have fun stay safe see ya kev the Brinklow kayaker
Two words amazing and interesting, thanks! x oh that's six😊 drone footage brilliant!
Thanks Sandra - that’s very kind!! ❤️
Hi Elliott, Sue and Josh,
Elliott you mentioned smelling the sea. On my journey around Britain one of the things that I was attempting to find was a childhood memory. That memory was the "smell of the sea". This smell is a bouquet of smells pulled together into one. I did not find it in Hastings, nor Yarmouth, very faint in Cromer and Colchester area. Where I did find it was on the west coast of north Wales and in Portsmouth. I challenge you to explain this. Why the south and west coasts. In my childhood I was in Lyme Regis and in 2019 I was in Lyme. Both times the smell of the sea was prevalent.

Hi Mark
Well the smell was certainly strong when I got there and all the silt was exposed. I don’t know why but I wasn’t expecting it although I had made sure I hadn’t looked on line at all to pre-empt what I might see because I wanted to enjoy the surprise!
Ps are you back home now or still in Blighty or Bratislava did you say you were going?
Hi Elliott,
Yes I am back in Canada. I spent a week in Slovenia and then flew back to Britain.
The journey in Britain took me to London, Hastings, Colchester, Norwich, Wales and Portsmouth.
Thoroughly enjoyed the journey and got to meet many who made me feel most welcomed.
England is still home for me and the Slovenes and British made me feel very welcomed.

What an interesting walk about!
Thanks for that!
Nice 1 Elliot…
Thanks for that 👍
Nice to see this video. I did not know that this river experienced a tidal bore. I guess the Severn Bore makes for more spectacular filming due to the wave size and speed, but this one probably has much fewer people ever filming it. Maybe you could film the Severn Bore while surfing it sometime ;) ;) ;)
That would be a great thing to witness!!!
I definitely enjoyed the Ribble though and watching the swell come in. Might have to watch it again some time!!
@@NarrowEscape1 Such things are impossible to tire of. The sights and smells of a tidal river may not be quite the stuff that people want as a perfume, but they are something you easily get addicted to.
wow, worth watching you get bored . I live on Wash and can stand on marsh and see nothing of turning tide, then you turn and water is creeping up all around. |t makes such lovely patterns and mini waves. one of your shots looked like the surface of the moon under the water. just lovely drone footage.
Thanks Tessa! 👍
I bet watching the tide on the wash is a real treat?
This River Ribble episode has really got me interested in the whole tidal thing, so much so I think we’ll have to search out other places to experience it. One of our lovely watchers has already given us a few ideas of places not too far away from where we currently are to watch from. As we bop around the country we can fine more! Result 🕺🏽💃
Hi Elliot to get to see tidal bores etc you need to be there for High Water Springs or H.W. S. it is nothing to do with the seasons, the word Springs is that the water spring UP ,and Down. Cheers
Thanks for that Ramsey - every day is a learning day!!!
We are wondering if you are both ok or just still busy working any way just tc thinking of you the oldies 🤗🤗👍👍
Hey you two. We hope you’re both OK too?
Sorry we’ve not been around lately. The client that we mentioned back when we were in Barbridge has kept extending our contract. It’s fabulous news for the Narrow Escape coffers but is wiping us out time wise - if it’s not a 7 day working week it’s certainly a 6 day one.
Things should ease off in a bit though so we’ll be annoying everyone again!! 🤣🤣
Thanks for asking after us ❤️
E & S
@@NarrowEscape1 so glad to hear you both ok we are both struggling but take each day tc niw till we see you again 🤗🤗👍👍
Hi nice to see you were is Sue? Have you stopped doing vlogs now?
Sue was working that day. Not stopping the blogs but we have to warn some money to keep e things going and CZcams ad revenue doesn’t cut it 🤣🤣
CZcams isn't sending me notifications of your latest blogs despite being subscribed and belled I don't know if anyone else has been experiencing this problem ?
Thanks for letting us know Nathan. We have heard of another person having a similar issue but it sounds an isolated thing from what we have heard?
Where did you go?
Hi there - we’re still here - just working every hour we can whilst we have the work contract we do. We’ll be back though as soon as we can 👍❤️
I'm 68 now and remember when the River Ribble was still being dredged to keep it navigable for the ships going into the Docks. The silt and sand was piled up on the banks further down towards the estuary. It was called little Blackpool because of the sand. I've had walks down there with my Grandad. He once found a fisherman's chest and took it to the Dock master office to claim the salvage. Further up towards the dock itself were the remains of concrete boats which were built as experiments during the first world war. Russian timber ships would dock and it was possible to buy russian vodka. As the sailors weren't allowed off the ship they would lower bottles down in baskets the recipient would test the quality by lighting to check the colour of the flame and when happy take the bottle and put the agreed money in the basket. New Years was special all the ships would have Xmas trees on top of their masts and at the stroke of midnight the hooters would sound. It's all gone now and just memories.
Oh my word - thank you so much for sharing those stories!!! That was a fantastic read especially the bit about the vodka bottles!! ❤️
Interesting your comments on the concrete boats because we saw one on our Ellesmere Port/National Waterways Museum video and it blew our minds…concrete boats for flipping sake 🙀
What a fabulous message - thanks for sharing!!!!
To say Preston was once a thriving commercial port. For the last twenty years, perhaps thirty years or more, since the port closed and the dredging stopped, the Ribble has been an awful navigation. That's not by any means to say I didn't appreciate your presentation.
Thanks Teddy 👍
