Seems like the wind defeated the fluffy stick today.
Usually it works very well though
The dead cat has died
At this point, park bench is a state of mind.
Jari Komppa hahahahaha
They parked a bench on the sand and sat down? I say it counts
Matt wasn't in the Scouts, he had a Commodore 64.
when matt waved at the isle of wight i waved back being somebody who lives on the island
hahaha same
"Bramble Bank" sounds like a 70s British children's show.
Marco probably with a now disgraced presenter
Olan Kenny Absolutely.
Like Fraggle Rock?
Or Portland Bill
Ramble on the Bramble?
Bramble Blast?
To the tune of Jethro Tull's "Bungle in the Jungle".
If they had a poker set it would be
_Gamble and ramble on Bramble_
When there's so much wind that even the Deadcat gives up ...
Apoorva Chandra that's the silent for you
Solent*
Now if only you could find a way to permanently affix a bench there, that would surprise any visitors.
Matt and Tom: Blue Peter for the internet age
15 minute cricket game? Sounds great.
Jim Fortune But that's not even enough time for elevenses, lunch and afternoon tea... The best bits of a game of cricket.
Lunch and tea are about the only things I understand when it comes to cricket. And "tea" is somewhat mysterious.
Couple of quick overs each would be fine. Slow play is killing the game.
I work at a cricket club (I make the teas) I don’t care about or understand Cricket. Everybody else loves it but i just couldn’t care less. Provided there’s enough time for me to have a job, the shortest cricket game with be the best cricket game.
Surprisingly clean sand bar. Exploring the 70+ percent of the earth that is under water is always an adventure. Nice that once in a while it pops up and lets you look at it. Good job guys!
Well, it does get scrubbed quite well at least twice a day, so aside from mud nothing else is there. Not like here where it is warm enough to have sea grasses growing, and really far enough from shipping lanes that nobody is dumping stuff there. No rock to anchor kelp either.
Pretty common for things attacked by the british tides. Cant tell you how many idiots get stuck at my local beach
Give the tripod feet a good wash if there are any screws/rivets that are not aluminium or plastic.
Great video. Also, 'Bank' is actually bench in Dutch.
...or couch.
And the name of it is a dutch name for a person. Bram it's mine
In Spanish, "banco" translates as bench and bank too
In German too. Just like "Bank" is also the place where you can put your money in German, too.
Next up: THE WIRRAL
+
A boat, several hundred yards off shore from the Wirral, because we don't dare imagine the consequences of Tom setting foot on the Wirral.

viral Wirral
*sharp intake of breath* not the wirral, we dont talk about the wirral
When it gets particularly chilly out, you could do an episode in windproof gear and call it the Parka Bench. Hahaha I crack me up.
Or how about the Parkin Bench - It’s just Matt and Tom sat eating cake and talking about cake for an episode. If only the Park bench was still going for that to happen!
"Hi, I'm Starfish".... no-one bats an eye
Well scout leaders usually have nicknames like that
Can you guys invite Matt Parker to a “Parker Bench” episode, please?
Maybe ask him, what he thinks about Parker Square Jokes.
Edit: Can you ask youtube, if they would incorporate the progress bar you edited, for the video clip you showed? It feels like, it should be a thing already on youtube.
Ziraya0 the parker bench in this case is a pun.
A parker square joke, can be anything, that includes Matt Parker in it and almost works, but not perfectly. It is not the fault you claim his, it is the effort Matt Parker himself put in it. In his own words “gave it a go”.
Edit: therefore any park bench including him, will be a parker bench automatically.
seconded
Thirded.
i don't think you get it. this is a park bench episode. (yes i see the pun).
Asmos159 I made the pun on purpose and know, that this series is called a park bench. I also am very profound in parker square jokes and therefore included the parker square joke/pun to show, that I like matt parker as well.
When you are in the Netherlands (and the weather is nice) you should try "wadlopen". It is walking to an island from the main land during low tide.
During low tide the Waddenzee is almost completely empty apart from a few channels.
There are no limits to these episodes now that you have a portable bench.
Would have been interesting to see a short time-lapse of the tide coming back
I used to go to 25th Sea Scouts! Left about 20 years ago but loved it. Didn’t have powerboats back then though. Rowed everywhere.
I kept watching the puddle behind Tom, because with everyone and everything sinking, I expected the bench to sink and Tom to fall backwards into the sea.
was it perhaps a bit windy?
aragonnetje It sounds like it might indeed have been a bit windy.
I firmly expect that the next video we see will be a story about how Tom fell into a large puddle or something, not unlike the time he fell through the ice.
"Is the Isle of Wight in the UK?"
as an island resident, I've heard that a million times
although it is amusing asking tourists if they remembered their passports and euro on the ferry
I went to Wales last year and a similar thing happens there . It's a beautiful view.
Also Matt's reaction to the Isle of white was amazing
Its quite nice to see how different English sea-scout groups are compared to the Dutch equivalent of it called "waterscouts". Especially looking at what they do and what kind of boats they use, and the general bodies of water they do their things on.
pkwaker how are the Dutch ones different?
You need to do a Wattwanderung.
Neuwerk might be a great place for you to check out, Mr. Scott
I'd have loved a timeless of that thing appearing and disapperaing again in the water, but I relized that would've been hard to do.
You two ought to visit The Isle Of Wight - for such a small place, there's a hell of a lot of fascinating and downright weird places to see. How about a Park Bench from the rocket test site near the Needles, on the west coast?
I hear there might even be some rail stations there!
Rocket test site? I'm interested already
its funny because bank also means "bench" (or couch) in Dutch, as well as the other meanings it has in English..
Matt and Tom's Sandbank!
Twan de Graaf as well as in German.
If Matt's that surprised by the tidal range, you should take a look at sea locks. I'm told the Lancaster Canal has a lock that can cope with a 6m tidal range on one side where it crosses the River Ribble. I've been meaning to go and look at that ever since I heard it; sounds like an impressive bit of engineering.
Matt and Tom's Ramble at Bramble Bank?
I've sailed there for the cricket
I've been on a yacht that's hit the the Bramble Bank, nice to finally see what it looks like!
I waved back from the Isle of Wight, Matt!
Even the fluffy mic couldn't help.Also, is that fluffy thing a rabbit?
It's a dead kitten
A dead kitten is smaller, for lav mics.
oh i thought a dead kitten was just anything smaller than like a proper size boom mic
I'm not sure there is a proper classification system for deceased felines on microphones.
It sure is
Would love to see video of the bank being "revealed" as the tide goes out!
I thoroughly enjoyed this! Thank you all!
Matt and Tom *park* a bench
Matt's fuzzy mike is having trouble with that wind
Matt and Tom bring the ramble bench to bramble bank
10/10 sound
Matthew Deutsch
It is very windy in this part of the UK
It's fiiiiine.
You should go to Hopewell Rocks in the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick. There 40-70 high rock formations that are submerged at high tide. At low tide, you can walk around them. I've run an orienteering course there at low tide.
You didn't talk about the groundings? Been some impressive deliberate ones including the Hoegh Osaka
Matts facial expression change at 3.46 is interesting.... Haha.... Great video...
Good to see you in Southampton shame I missed you
love watching british people being british
greetings! from the 1st bayridge seafarers
Sea Scouts 👊🏼 greetings from a Dutch Sea Scout leader
What a bench!
Your Ingenuity re the bench should make Scouts proud because the Cricketeers or Yachties don’t seem to bring one ! As a ‘ local ‘ Geography Anorak from 14 miles West , I’ve always been intrigued by this temporary island which inhabits a no mans land between the three distinct districts of the Island , Greater Portsmouth & the New Forest . When I was a kid in Lymington I’d listen to Radio Victory and it always struck me how the Solent made the Portsmouth area at just 20 miles away from the New Forest a completely irrelevant place to us as if it were miles and miles away. Wish Hordle Scouts had done this instead of British Bulldog in the Hut and two summer visits to the Sailing Gravel Pits at Ringwood 🙄👍
Oooh the notification worked this time ;D
Gotta love the isle of wight
Sandbank, the German term for this geographic feature translates to sand bench...
Even Sea Scouts call them "Real Miles"
They could have said "land miles", which is far more accurate. Besides, nautical miles are the only kind of miles that are used all around the world.
I’m pretty sure nautical miles are real miles, and on land you use kilometers.
Bramble bank is where I snapped a dinghy's rudder due to huge waves and a force 5, it can get pretty rough out there
Haha, this was lovely!
one word: fundy
I looked up Brambles Bank in Google Maps; it shows it's a cricket ground.
Cool. Impressive.
I had no idea that happened, that's cool.
Lets get ready to Bramble.
I've hit that Bank in cowes week before
Red, right, returning.
AUDIO NIGHTMARE! The final product looks great!
Damn, this reminds me of Chesil beach/bank near where I live in Dorset. Very interesting place & part of the reason the Jurassic coast has it's UNESCO world heritage status. Might make a good video on Toms main channel.
"Park" bench
Those skies are so beautiful - like ridiculously so
SeaScouts!
good video
The windproofing on that mic is working overtime
So that’s where you were going. Well done to the Sea Scout troops for inviting you out there and not losing you.
So there was a shipping forecast, you say?
so its like the waddenzee in the netherlands (or the razende bol)
They brought a bench.
you were in sarrfampton and I didn't know :(
Want to come to the cricket match next year?
ARG! They missed the annual cricket match on Bramble Bank.
Tom looks very dapper in his wellies.
Ist bembridge seascouts represent
I'm guessing this was filmed in the middle of Storm Brian... Judging by the winds.
already underwater by the sound of it
Had to look up what the Solent is.
Then had to look up what the Isle of Wight is.
Earl of Narwhals are you from the uk?
I live on the Solent! Well, next to it.
Earl of Narwhals
What is Solent?
I'm from Southampton but you'll be pleased to hear I hate Southampton FC!
Earl of Narwhals I went to school on the IoW and lived opposite of it on the solent is Gosport
Just like achu11th said, Could you invite Matt Parker to a Park Bench video.
Make sure that the bench is not a proper bench. And that there is a Parker Square somewhere near.
How long are you in Southampton for? You should go to Hythe pier whilst you are their, it is the oldest peir train in the world, and the 7th longest pier in the uk, its where i'm from
I’ve acctuly driven a powerboat on the Thames a few times
I'm watching this in the Solent.
The local area, not the body of water.
Ali365Dash it depends where you are. I'm in hythe
I remember this from Snapchat
Today I learned about spring tides and neap tides, which explains why this is filmed on sunset.
What I didn't get is why Tom states that this was the only possible time this year. From what I learned, this should happen (for multiple consecutive tides) roughly every two weeks (at full and new moon). Any suggestions?
Rackergen Low tide isn’t exactly the same time every day, and combined with Matt’s shift work, railway timetables, diminishing daylight hours and probably also when the scouts would be able to bring them, this ended up being the one time everything lined up just right.
Ah, I forgot about organizational struggles playing a possible role. I guess I understood him wrong, then.
There are multiple factors that control how high and low the tide goes. These include the moon phase (as you mentioned), the distance between the earth and the moon due to the moon's elliptical orbit (similar to what causes a "supermoon"), distance to the moon due to the inclination of the moon's orbit, and distance to the sun (so there will be larger tides in January than in July).
A bit windy.
Anyone else here in the US Sea Scouts? Somehow I joined a Sea Scout group based in Nebraska (the most middle part of the US)
How does a landlocked state have _Sea_ Scouts?
No red T-Shirt Tom? ;)
Pat D I think he was wearing a red t-shirt, but it's hard to tell under the hoodie
So the waddenzee is next?
👍
16 ft.
8 land miles.
Why did you decide to make this a park bench episode instead of an amazing places episode on the main channel?
DualSaga184 The rambling.
Yeah, the rambling wouldn't be suited for a video, but I'm wondering why Tom didn't film a less rambly video in the vain of his other amazing places videos at this location. It seems like if he took the time to go all the way out there it would have made a good video, and more people would have seen it because it's on his main channel.
DualSaga184
Don't know if you noticed but there isn't really very much there. I mean it's a pretty cool place but it's just not a whole lot to look at and talk about. Maybe if he could make it to the cricket game but he didn't so it's just a sand island. Also a lot of these sorts of islands exist without the cricket.
I think he could have done something with it, but I see what you're saying.
I guess the Main Channel Videos have a certain quality standard, that he might not be able to assure if time is running out until he is flooded
Ah yes, the universal scout bench
I would build a house there If I got alowed to and the Money
Tom Matt if you could would you go to the moon
Matt would definitely go to the Moon if ESA wanted to send him.
