1700miles in a Tiny Speedboat - Part 10 - Bristol Channel

- Опубликовано: 7 окт 2024
- It's a very long way to go in a very small boat. With our camping gear, petrol tanks and meat-based snacks we again head out to sea.
We're circumnavigating the UK and have covered over 1000 miles so far on our wiggly route. In this episode we cross the Bristol channel and journey into Wales to see the birthplace of the rigid hull inflatable boat, Atlantic College, a school based in the 12th century St Donat's castle.

We meet Robin Jenkins and learn about the invention of the rib and their latest lifesaving project, Atlantic Pacific, you can support the good work that they do here:

From the Vale of Glamorgan we travel west to Porthcawl, Tenby and finally into the safety of Milford Haven.
Our boat, 'Goodwin', is an Avon Searider from 1977 and only four meters long, you can see the restoration process here:

I have to say, that discovering this channel during lockdown was a real boon. There is an eclectic mix of eccentric English adventure, quaint nostalgia at the pace and view of the United Kingdom, outstanding music and a heady mix of wonderful people.
Heck, I may as well admit it, I wish I’d thought of this trip and since I didn’t I just am envious (but secretly glad) at each new episode.
When banal videos of unboxing new technology (not when you did it, Harry) or car drag racing can get hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions of views, how this isn’t in the tens of millions of hits, I don’t know.
This, people, is just what life should emphasise.
Simply outstanding and compulsory viewing, in my humble opinion. All power to you, Harry.
I couldn’t agree with you more. Doing something like this would be an absolute dream, very inspiring stuff!
Yep.. as above.
Love how these videos just pop up every now and then, during the year, it just feels like its just mine. My secret. I absolutely love watching this. Keep up the great work mate.
Mr. Brumsgrub,
For a different view of an adventure look up the channel Itchyboots. She is riding around the world on a motorcycle by herself. Good views. Tony
@@tonyhouk9047 ah nice one. I'll take a look
@brumsgrub so relatable! Every video is like a holiday…
I have only just discovered this series ... and I feel that way, too. It's just remarkable
The back story on these rescue boats, I never knew, that design changed everything, an evolutionary leap.
25 years ago 3 of us built a RIB called Inflated Ego. We only got as far as the Isle of Wight from Dover but these videos have brought back many happy memories. Great videos and what a fantastic adventure.
What a great name, It reminded me of my speedboat named ‘Just add water ‘
thats a sick ass name!!!
Thanks Harry: another marvellous waypoint on your epic odyssey.
Kit was a great 'guest' too.
I don't know if I'm alone, but I can't escape the sense that this whole, mad, wonderful, project is an extended elegy for a land that is fast disappearing from under our feet. Every scene seems infused with the ache of nostalgia for a time when things were just.....better.
Or maybe it's me getting old!
No you´re right - the pains of the last few years with global warming, then climate change, brexit, then convid and now climate crisis which are nothing more than an attrition of our civil liberties in the never ending march to authoritarianism; what the hell is there to look forward to in the future???
@@Farlig69 Haha! You've listed all the things I dare not name!
We just have to batten down the hatches and ride out the storm, I think.
Thank God for small islands of sanity, such as Harry's voyage.
I think, unwittingly or not, he's trying to rekindle the soul of this benighted nation.
And remember: if you ever take a boat trip around the Isle of Wight, be sure to avoid The Needles!😎🍻🤝
@@gedofgont1006 Someone needs to mention it. We need to rise against this utter nonsense that's being rammed down our throats - here's an excellent video by another well respected "Around Britainer" :)

@@Farlig69 Heaven
Yep. Couldn’t agree more. Very British, in the old school sense.
Hehe that honking massive quantum radar on such a small boat makes be chuckle. It’s bigger than the sodding outboard! Good luck and your travels and please keep the content coming, its awesome!
He needed to warm up to being on camera, but then he was a brilliant companion. Such an awesome person - thanks for taking him along :) He also really seemed to have enjoyed himself on the trip.
This is a better advert for Britain than any tourist board advert, beautiful!
Oh FANTASTIC another episode thanks in advance. Like smashed before watching it.
Same!!!!
He's BACK! - That opening music always brings an excited smile to my face!
My favourite indulgence by a royal mile. Safe journeys you intrepid adventurers Regards Stuart Bell
This video came up on my recommendations so I thought I'd give it a go. Watched the first 5 minutes and asked my wife if she'd like to start at the beginning ... things to do but we thought we'd give it a go over breakfast. It's now 16.44 on the same day and we've watched the whole series 😳🤪😊. Harry, we've sailed for over 40 years and have our own memories ... this series has had us in awe of your achievements, resolve and humour. Subscribed and can't wait for the rest of the series. 👍👍👍
Yes, yes, yes, yes YEEEEEESSSSSSSS, kids need to go my Mothers, need to get the Missus friends to take her to the pub and I’m all sorted to watch this uninterrupted 👍🏻
Absolutely wonderful Harry! The music seems to get better and better with each episode. Lush coastline as well
The music really does add another dimension to this wonderful project.
Harry that was my favorite episode to date. The cliffs, the seabirds and of course the surprise reveal of the Granddad of all RIBs. Keep them coming and delighted you go some more kit for Goodwin.
GREAT series. Kit is right as a fellow hunter and fisherman there's nothing better than getting your own food. When you hunt and fish you control 100 percent of the process and the quality. You ate the best meat there is when Kit fried up that backstrap.
Fun fact (for me) - I took my first unaided steps on Tenby beach around mid-afternoon on July 21st 1969 while my parents were listening to a report on the radio of someone else taking some historic steps some 240,000 miles away
Another excellent adventure, and educational too.
This is my favorite documentary, thanks for the incredible content
Best thing on the internet.
Always a great watch.
So quintissentialy English - crossing the Bristol Channel in a rubber boat whilst scoffing pork pies and strawberries.
Thank you!
I grew up in Milford Haven and the pembrokeshire coast is one of the most beautful parts of the world. Hope you enjoy/enjoyed the rest of the way up the coast. I do feel a little sorry for Chris having to drive to get you each time :)
Yes, also the Landrover has taken a turn for the worse... :(
@@harrydwyer it wouldn't be a Landover if it didn't. Disco 2 owner here.
this is one of my favorite series on RUclips. been watching since RUclips recommended the mining foam video.
Same here
And me! Loved it through lockdown!
I really enjoyed this episode. In 2019 I did your tour (in the other direction) with a sailing boat. Was in Dale too. Carry on Harry & friends Best regards Bernd from Germany
Travel restrictions being what they are now a days, I feel like I'm vicariousley vacationing while watching these videos. Thanks Harry :)
Just found this series a week ago and have been binge watching everything and now watching it again. Awesome work!! I love it. Cheers from Melbourne.
At last, think it’s an extra long lunch break at work today. Thanks Harry
It’s so absolutely WONDERFUL to see you again Harry 🥰🎉❤️ I’ve been patiently waiting all summer for this video !! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with Goodwin around Blighty. Yippee 🥳
Just the tonic I was desperately in need of, absolutely glorious.
Another sparkling segment of your journey, not only fun and entertaining but educational too! I had no idea about the history of the rib boats, what a wonderful adventure you are having a bit at a time! I hope one day when you have done the whole trip you can bring it out on DVD ? certainly worthy of it!!! Thank you to Kit for joining in the spirit of the trip, a great partner for this section of the run.
Came across this series just this week and binge watching each episode with glee. This one was really special as my wife's parents lived in Marcross just along from Atlantic College. They had their 50th wedding anniversary "do" at St Donuts. I look forward to the Scottish coastline.
Nothing better than collecting your own fish and game. Super sustainable and super tasty.
That was such a pleasant viewing, in every way. It's made me all homesick down here in Oz. Your videos always seem to just pop up when I need some Brit time. Many thanks.
This one has been my fave. Two really nice guys.
This is a delightful episode, thank you. What I particularly admire is that there's no sense of competitiveness about the journey or pushing one leg within x days of the previous one. Kit, as a venison eater I fully echo your comments about wild venison.
Thank you Harry, the story of the college and the castle was fantastic. I really hope to do a similar journey taking some inspiration from yours with my friends. I’m amazed you can get such great footage amidst the spray and the chaos. Incredible stuff
Love the radar. I have a 24' Pursuit that I always thought was too small to have a radar setup. I don't think that anymore. Fantastic journey, cannot wait for the next episode.
Always have radar you'll never leave home with out it. I have a 23ft mako and I got radar and it's the best money I've ever spent
Episode #10 was truly a pleasure!
Thank you for every second.. so much to see a-sea along the wild Welsh coast. 🕊
Ha, I laugh in the face of dry suits !!! ......... What a fabulous and interesting film. Roll on the next one. 😊😊
I cannot believe how beautiful the UK’s coastline is😮😮😮
I've never watched anything before that wasn't Easy Rider, but felt the same, and championed the same ideals. 👏
Harry I love this series so much, the filming and editing and presenting is all so great, just good wholesome fun.
Thanks David, just been watching your exercise ball pizza oven, I want one!
@@harrydwyer hahaha my worst video maybe but people keep watching it 🤷🏻♂️ I also think I need to do a follow up review as I’m not super happy with it.
Who knew mud island had such a diverse coastline - the Isles of Scilly were especially astonishing!
Really enjoying this record of your adventure.
That footage around Lynmouth is just amazing. The whole project is pretty awsome too. Lots to see and learn along the way.
I'm loving following your adventures. Can't wait for the next instalment.
So great to see you get another leg in the journey. I enjoy your videos more than anything else I've ever watched on here, they are by far my favourite. That was such a beautiful stretch of coast, thanks for taking us all along for the ride.
Thank you Harry! You found a great companion in Kit for this leg. Wonderful and easy give and take with so much to see. Just the best to watch. Thank you for adding joy to my day!
That was another fantastic vid guys thank you, such a journey with lots of wonderful scenery, not to mention what an honour it was to learn/visit that castle where all the history of RIB’s began.
Looking forward to your next chapter with baited breath 😎😍👍🇬🇧🌍
Great to see another episode.
Chris driving the Land Rover Discovery is the unsung hero of this project.
Ahhh.. there's a bit of bad news about the Landrover.
@@harrydwyer More than just the radio then! i couldn't drive for miles without a radio! what a trooper Chris is.
@@harrydwyer My dad had a discovery and it just exploded one day. Now he drives Japanese cars exclusively.
Fantastic episode. I was absolutely beaming when I saw this appear just before my lunch break. Watched on TV as I knew footage would be amazing. Best wishes on your future travels.
I know you know this, but you're so good at this stuff Harry. Likeable. Authentic. Better than loads of stuff on the actual telly. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. God's speed. :)
Epic on every level - great fun and really interesting!
Brilliant as usual. Thank you Harry and Kit too. Looking forward to the next leg to Scotland. Regards from Madrid.
hi guys, I fell in love with this video, this music. How good it is to take and walk on the water like this, thank you.
Beautiful. Great guest, the production, and the music, with a bit of sadness because it is already the end of the episode
Kit seems great company! Enjoyed this episode very much!
Harry you don't fail to impress on every video , brilliant thanks
Can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos mate! You really go the extra mile with the music, graphics and production, so so good!
It’s always such a treat when you upload 🤗
What a wonderful episode. Professional, funny, interesting, and captures the beauty of the coast.
The fascinating information, the utter UTTER madness and all in between.......
Surely the best string of videos on the internet at this time!
I enjoyed this video same as always. Tell Kit anchor away is said as the anchor leaves the bottom and is swinging free during retrieval.🙂
Anchor 'aweigh', ye scurvy knave!😄🤝🍻
Niesamowite wyzwanie. Spontaniczne. Dobre przygotowanie. Czekamy na kolejny etap. Powodzenia, pozdrowienia z Polski. 👏🇵🇱
damn been waiting for this for ages ... right off too watch it .. and over an hour too .. amazing
I was so pleased to get this notification while at work today and couldn't wait to get home to watch it on the telly! Thanks Harry wonderful stuff. 👍
Great series - and what a great place. UWC have some of the best facilities around the world. And what a story about the RIB … who knew 👍
One of the best RUclips channels. It's just a matter of time before you hit 1 million subscribers. I bet it happens fast too.
Great to see Worms Head, spent many teenage years surfing Llangennith Beach and fishing out of Bury Port
What wholesome RUclips content. Past my hometown and some lovely shots of the coastline. Just fascinating viewing. Congrats
Wonderful - Thanks Harry for a fantastic hour which I've been waiting what seems like ages to see. Can't wait until the next episode... but I guess I'll have to!
What a great film and adventure, thanks for sharing!
What a way to end Thursday!! Thanks Harry!
What a lovely little island of the french coast...!
Fantastic, Harry & co are back on the move again, absolutely love watching your adventures been onboard since day 1 😀 Can’t wait until your back on the water. Thanks Harry 👍
Once upon a time, you would have found this quality of content on channel 4 or BBC2. Well done Harry for making something that is sadly missing now from UK TV
Thank you very much for taking us along Harry!
Very informative stop at the castle. I wish you could have stayed another night and brought us more.
taking you to another world.. Brilliant as always👏👏
Great to see the journey started again 😀😀😀
Without doubt my favorite episode yet Harry. Well done, brilliant series. Used to stay just up the road from Stackpole Quay as a child and spent all summer diving off the quay and snorkeling round the neighbouring coves. Wonderful to see it again and glad you stopped to enjoy it as well. Looking forward now to you discovering the west coast of Wales.
Yes, yes, yes, this has made my week complete watching this👍👍👍, nice one H.
That’s the best equipped rowing boat I’ve ever seen! 😁
Absolutely enjoying the trip. Cheers to the boat n crew
The best thing on RUclips at the moment, just love the relaxed nature of the videos and of course the sense of adventure. Always enjoy and look forward to the videos, keep them coming Harry 👍😁
They way you are travelling is amazing, meeting interesting people, visiting and stsying at awesome locations. Not rushing to just get around. Great project/holiday
Great episode. The woman in Porthcawl marina is a dragon!
And a Welsh one at that!
Harry your a legend and when these videos magically appear every few months I enjoy your adventure every time! I wonder how many years it’ll take to complete this mission around the UK. Take your time and continue to have fun pal
Ohhhhhh I feel like a kid at Xmas … new episode 😎😎😎😎😎😍😍😍😍😍
Yes!!! You and Goodwin are back!! 👍👍
Sweet that Goodwin got an AIS, please give a heads up here when you are out so we can follow in real-time at Marine Traffic and similar.
man I wish i had a Chris in my life! what a great man
So many interesting stories around the coast of britain
Thanks Harry for another fantastic journey. Very cool to take Goodwin to the home of the RHIB!. Also at 58:04 there is an epic and clearly defined mans face on a pillar of rock!
Always wonderful to watch. thank you!
This is the much awaited next episode . Its getting better and better, my boats are in for the winter and it's perfect therapy for boat withdrawal! Such a clever mix of experiences, loved the castle and RIB bit. Can't wait for the next one! Brilliant!
Wonderful video. I attended Atlantic College from 07 to 09, it's a really special place.
Another great video, I especially loved the North Devon scenery, it looked truly spectacular.
A new episode that even exceeds one hour? I love it! Thank you so much, Harry
Love following your adventure.
Oh my God! It excites me even more, seeing this video, thinking of the trip around Europe (around 7000 n.m.) that I intend to do next summer starting from Piraeus (in Greece) on board a 6 m, r.i.b.
Great job guys! Your r.i.b. is nothing less than an Avon I think. Maybe one of the best (if not the best) r.i.b. in the world, considering its size of course.
Thanks for the rib history for my Avon!
I’m always so pleased to see that there’s a new episode. Compelling viewing.
Always a pleasure to catch up with your seafaring exploits Harry. Looking forward to the next instalment!
