Well, another great walk. What I am coming to look forward to as well are the comments and tales of holidays that mean so much to people. It’s nice to know they had great memories. Thanks Tim.
Simple videos..but very pleasant to watch made and more enjoyable by the snippets of information thrown in...Thankyou..
You're welcome
Makes you realise how powerful nature is
this is a nice beach walk, great untouched natural scenery, thanks for sharing 👍
I used to live in caister and still go to school there but I miss it there so much I've been stuck at home for 3 months
you are so lucky - i used to imagine living there as it was my parents dream to own a newsagents by the coast and caister but we always wondered what it would be like in the 'off' season
I visited Caister during my short stay in Yarmouth Sept 2017 & I'll always remember it because of the huge thunderstorm brewing inland which went out to sea, heralded by a big rainbow, 🌈 & I sat on the beach watching it for an hour. Absolutely spectacular.
thunderstorms are great to watch out a sea too
Remember going on holiday to Haven in Caister when I was 10 years old, lovely place!
Thanks for watching
Another brill walk, thanks. My dose of Norfolk loveliness until I get back up there ☀️
Thanks Emma
Enjoying these walks Tim, missing Hemsby and surrounding areas alot
Thanks Linda
My dads friend had a caravan in the 50s 60s, we had our holidays there every August. That pillbox on the beach you could walk into it in the early 50s, we watched it disappear over the years. Went to 'the never turn back' the year that it opened, sat outside with my brother with our lemonade and crisps. before that mum dad and thier friends used to go to the 'ship'. There used to be a brilliant fish and chip shop, the owner used to buy fish straight off the boat, I remember one called Eileen Summer, there were a few small boats that landed on the beach. Happy days.
Thanks for the memories
Spent so much of my childhood on that beach and watching the lifeboat launch. When the maroons went up one for inshore two for main lifeboats and three meant Doctor required on crew. The bravery of these men cannot be understated when on a cold stormy night, they got the call to launch following reports of distressed shipping. I have not been for several years and did not realise there was wheelchair access. I feel a trip coming on. Many thanks.
You should, lifeboat men are hardey souls
Fantastic video Tim! Love the Norfolk coastline and am really missing it at the moment. Really enjoy your local knowledge too. Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you chris
Excellent video, Tim. Interesting to see how the coast lines in Norfolk keep changing (Geography graduate here!)
Also, a piece of history when you filmed this in the pandemic - especially your spiel about keeping 2m from others!
Nice , it's a long trail, perfect for walking jogging and biking. 👍
Another great video young man,I remember coming down in the mid 1970’s, we had a three wheeled Reliant van, and we slept by the platform of the disused Caister railway station, until we go go in our digs in North Denes Road, great days.keep well,Keep safe.
thanks for watching
Fantastic Tim, thanks for posting these video. I had holidays at Caister in the 50s and 60s and these brought back great memories. When you were on the promenade I think that’s where the railway ran. I can recall the abandoned station. As a kid I also remember that sea wall being very high in places. Thanks again , entertaining and educational.
Caistor beach holiday park is were Mum and Dad had there caravans. The beach looked like it dose now for a long time then 1 winter it disappeared exposing the wall and the walkway you mentioned, it gradually got worse then started coming back.
Getting a lovely warm feel can't wait for spring/summer looking at your videos beautiful area ✨☘️
I love adventure too thanks for sharing I loved the views
🙏😎
It looks like the sea is receding in that part of caister beach. Nature reclaiming its own boundaries.
For once it's good to see rather then taking it away
I live in Caister love walking through the dunes to Gt.yarmouth 😊
During the 80s we always went to Caister beach holiday park. Me and my brother would play long jump off the sea wall onto the sand. I'm sure there used to be a layer of shingle between the sea wall and the sea. After my parents got a touring caravan we would stay at the old hall caravan site. Which is now Lidls.
Thanks for watching roy
Love caister been there loads of time in the last 40 years. The last time was last year with my whole family and my daughter was expecting my first grandchild which she had two days after returning home. Beautiful place and yes has changed over the years.
That's awesome!
We love Norfolk it's beaches and villages are full of history great buds dude 🤘
Thanks Nathan
Great video. My parents took me to Caister in the late sixties and early seventies. I remember the sea wall (now covered with sand and the Never Turn Back pub. Well done Tim.
Thanks alen , if you haven't remember to subscribe 😀
As a child we stayed at the 'Eastern Beach Camp' every year so i remember the wall - also amazed at how different Caister is nowadays
I know its crazy
@@WalkWithMeTim I remember taking my daughter around Caister to show her where i used to go on holidays and it just seemed like there were so many estate agents
@@WalkWithMeTim I always remember the sign for 'Grandmas Shepherds Pie' as you turned into Beach Road - but then one year it disappeared, RIP Grandma!
Love Caister on sea , used to stay at The Old Hall when they had all the caravans
That's going back some time
@@WalkWithMeTim Yes 1980s and 90s
Just love your videos. Brings back happy memories.
Would love to see you do gorston and sea pailing
Lots of great holidays there.
A dogfish is a variety of shark. It is properly called a spiny dogfish shark, and has several other names.
Been going there since I was little my dad was an honourable member of canister lifeboat the old boat normajean
Thanks for watching Annie
There's much more sand in both Caister and north Yarmouth since the wind turbines were put up. Love these videos, thanks X
Glad you like them!
Hi Tim lovely walk along the beach. My late Mums cousin lives there. My Mums family originate from Norwich . Her cousins still live up there . My Mum was born in Norwich hospital. My Nan married a soldier and they moved to Hanwell nr London. But I used to go on many childhood holidays there. Thankyou for sharing with us love Tracey xx
you're welcome Tracey!
Great videos. FYI you were right first time, a dogfish is a type of shark. 👍
Was I... people telling me its a FISH
Really LOVE THIS CHANNEL,, WE SHOULD BE GOING TO CALIFORNIA CLIFFS IN JULY CARAVAN HOLIDAY!!! JUST CANT WAIT!!! LOVE NORFOLK!! MUCH LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!🙏🏻❤️🥰
Thank you! ❤🙌❤
You said you used to work at caister, where abouts exactly? I used to visit yearly with parents between 1996-2011 its amazing seeing the changes. Never turn back pub was amazing too.
Im from lowestoft and its so nice to go there in the summer
it is!
Cant wait to go back there!!!
Thanks for watching holly
Another great video young man, there used to be a great restaurant at Caister, we travelled down there by a three wheeled Reliant van, and all three of us slept in it by the platform of the unused railway platform, waiting to go into digs on North Denes Road.Keep well.Keep Safe.
Sounds fun . Thanks ramon
Lovely to see as it doesn't look like we'll make it down this year. Would be great if you could do one through Winterton-on-sea too 👍
Have a video coming up from winterton! 😃
@@WalkWithMeTim Excellent! Can't wait to watch
I was staying at the caravan park Caister
hi tim love the yarmouth video sea work has bean done love it thanks
Thanks for watching Chris
Another great nostalgic viewing. I went to caister middle and high school and can remember doing cross country along that beach. Being closely watched by the PE teacher Mr Simms making sure we didn't cheat. We did though, cutting across the dunes halfway through and then rejoining the back of the group as they made their way back. I worked at the haven caravan site when I was 15 in 1993. Selling ice creams and candy floss from a stall near the football area behind the dining area.
Caister Lifeboat men are a national treasure, i was at the unveiling of the ship launch for the original Bernard Matthew, it was launched by hrh Princess Alexandra. I think I'd done some sort of sponsored something or other to raise funds for the new boat. Hope you can do another video of the village sometime, do you remember the name of the shop thats now the coop opposite Braddocks? Memories of buying sweets in there after school and renting the latest blockbuster movie on vhs.
Caister fayre , I think it was called .. wow great memories there andy thanks for sharing remember to subscribe
I suspected that Norfolk would be beautiful.... wow Mahalo & Aloha from Hawaii..
You should visit
I lived in the village for 24 years till 2012. Before that, I travelled through the village either to school or work until 1980. The changes I've seen over all that time are remarkable, and not all for the better. What was once a recognisable village community has been over developed with more housing sprouting up in previous 'green field' areas than anyone would have imagined or accepted as possible while I was younger. Caister is not unique for this - it has moved with the times, but at what cost ?
I’m going there very soon so excited!!
Hope you have good weather
Walk With Me Tim thank you me too!
I’m going through all these vlogs as a local, think you should do the Breydon walk, get off the train at Barney arms and walk back to Asda in Yarmouth...such a pretty walk; mind the cows.
Lol good idea thanks luke
I remember when years back the sea took most of the sand an it left pools of water and a massive drop from the entrance to caister campsite now haven. Was crazy. Then they put the rock wall and the sand all came back. Was the weirdest thing.
Love your videos
The only problem with all your videos is they make me want to go there, right now, and I can't :(
WOW! I commented too soon as I wanted to say more - loving the history of what it used to look like and finding evidence of what you were talking about. Love it :)
Glad you like them!
Brilliant video sad it ended wanted to keep watching, could you do a few more walking towards yarmouth pier or the opposite way to California? How far can you go when walking towards California?
Hi jay, yes lots more coming and even more after lockdown
Amazing walking with u,I hope I'l visit this place one day.👍🤽♀️🏊♂️🦈🧜♀️
Please do!
Enjoyed the walk thanks.
Thanks for watching
You were talking about Eastern Beach caravan site, we stay there.
Nice video.enjoyable walk 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice video....i remember as kids years ago....when Butlins Clacton closed...we were taken on holiday to Caister holiday camp but i'm sure back then it was a Pontins holiday camp??...we stayed in chalets but it was quite different to Butlins as the the chalet we were in had 2 floors...so an upstairs and downstairs like a regular house....however it pretty much rained everyday so us being kids at the time weren't impressed at all lol...we missed Butlins...especially the free funfair...we never went back to Caister!! x
Thanks for sharing hazel, no it's never been Pontins are u confused with hemsby
Not sure...it was definitely Caister we were at....and for some reason i had in my head it was Pontins...we were a very short walk from the beach...i remember there was not much to do on the beach when we managed to get there when it weren't raining...there was an adventure park at the camp...i don't really remember much more being there...as in certainly don't remember no funfair...we have family in Sudbury, Suffolk so stayed overnight with them then drove to Great Yarmouth the next day.... i wonder if any other viewers could shed some light on it!! ...excuse my ignorance ..but is Hemsby still Caister?? x
Think that was a smoothound mate, dog fish are spotted, my wife had childhood hols there, Mrs Squires,so we are going next year, 😃
Sounds great!
I stayed in a caravan by the cafe with the lions in the mid 50's
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for these videos. Visit Great Yarmouth at least 4 times a year but with the ways things are doesn't look likely this year unfortunately. Just watched all your videos and subscribed. Thanks again.
Thanks owen
I jumped off of that wall we’re the pill box was when I was about 9 years old
Lol
There was a railway from Yarmouth, through Caistor to Newport, closed in 50s and dismantled in 70s, vaguely remember it ( under 10 in 70s) did it run along the path you were walking ???
Yep it did go along there ian
I lived in Caister from 1958 to about 1999 so spent many childhood days on the beach in the summer and winter. We lived backed on to the golf course so we cut a hole in the fence and could then get to the beach and dunes in a couple of minutes (dead opposite the 1 mile start on the race course). Caister had 3 stations I believe if you include Caister Halt. It was a very busy line, M&GN I think as it linked Yarmouth with the Midlands. When I was quite little we used to catch the train to Hemsby where my Nan and Grandad lived. I think back in the '60's Caister had a population of about 2000 but probabaly at least 4 times that now. Every summer holiday from school seemed sunny in those days and my mum used to let us just wander off so long as we came back in time for tea!. It holds very nice memories for me so this was a nice little video to watch. Cheers!
PS In 1963 (?) the sea froze over by the shore; it was a very cold winter, ha ha!
Technically, the dogfish is a type of shark. This is referenced in other languages e.g. in Hungarian it is known as a "cat shark" (macskacápa) LOL.
exactly
Nice gentle amber around some of these lovely places. '' Walk With Me Tim' Did you get your Idea for your title from the film The Lake House ? There is a scene in the film where Keanu Reeves takes Sandra Bullock on a walking tour of his favourite places in Chicago via maps and letters. Before starting of he says '' Walk with me ''.
I have seen that film but didn't notice when he said walk with me lol
@@WalkWithMeTim
It just reminded me of that scene lol. But excellent videos. I look forward to watching my way through them.
@@SNAKEPIT359 thank you , i new video is out in about 10 mins too!
Would love to see an Hunstanton walk
Hi jan, yes it's coming soon
@@WalkWithMeTim my late parents used to holiday there for two weeks every year, so I've plenty of fond memories of sunny hunny! Thank you Tim for replying

Thanks

Nice
I went to Caister last week me and my dog should i can't put pictures on here
I was there when the lifeboat man of Caister died ...
when was that
Think it was in the 80s something like that was sitting nxt to launch pad when it went all wrong...look it up if you can...
@@steve3716 thanks steven i will
His name was benny read 1991..it happened...
Where did you start tour walk ?
I started in California 😃
This is where SpongeBob SquarePants goes to on Holliday once or twice a yr to see is friend Mr Krabs with Squidward from Clacton under pier 🦀🐙
Lol
i was at caister 30+ years ago
I live in Great Yarmouth BTW so I enjoy any of the coast line when I'm there, more recently Gorleston has been a favoured spot for waves, Yarmouth is my local obviously, feel free to give my channel a follow if you like weather videos ofcourse
thanks will do
I lived in Caister-On-sea in the early 1980s. I'm sorry but the narrative to this video is wrong. The layout - the topography - of the beach walk and the position of the dunes has not changed greatly since then. And it's called Marram grass - not dune grass, by the way !
nice beach impression.
What is that Concrete Structure at 5:52? There is alot of Speculation if its a WW2 Pillbox or not! (:
These videos are really good, far more than anyone might imagine them to be.
As I say, I sincerely hope to get to Norwich again for another week (August 2020) where I once again plan to tour Norfolk and Suffolk, but again as I say this year who knows.
Thank you
Stayed here in 1976 with my mates
New subscriber: Coast Tripz - Love the vid. My kinda channel. 😃👍
Thanks for the sub 🙏
Walk With Me Tim i
I'm in my glory watching these it makes me want to go there but at moment I'm happy to watch love Caister and other caravan parks x
Now we know where all the sand from Happisburgh finishes up...
true
The guy and Scroby you were talking about. It was said that he arranged a cricket match on the sands at one time...Thought you might be interested?
yes i heard that!
Love this Tim! Thanks for bringing some memories back to life. I miss this place so much! I hope to return to build a life there soon 😊
Your welcome lou
On a quest to watch all of the videos?
Me too!!!

I live there 🤭😂
boom
Loving these walks hoping to go there again once it's safe to visit
👍👍
:-)
You missed a sad but wonderful story. Go to the library and look up the origins of the name "Never Turn Back" - originally "Caister men never turn back". As a man born and bred in Yarmouth and now a Governer of the RNLI the story behind the name is fascinating
yes ill cover that in my new video
I was born in Caister. But mum moved us away when I was 2. Went back for holiday as nan lived there. I remember the curved see wall defence! And then it was loads of black tar stuff. It's amazing how much its changed over the years! I'm now 42 lol. My nan lived in Second Avenue. Goes right down to the beach. Loved the video. X
wow have you seen the updates one Kelly click here >ruclips.net/video/QgK-HsdM9UU/видео.html
I can remember sitting on the backs of them Caister Lions when I was 10 years old. No I have turned 50 I need to return. Loved the place, it was our small family get away every year when I was young.
Thanks for watching Jason
Thanks for these videos Tim. I spent many wonderful holidays in this area. Mostly stayed in Scratby, but have also stayed in Caister. Great memories. I know Scratby is small, but could you do a video from there?
Yeh sure, if you check out my other videos you can also see California too
Tim these video's are great. I used to holiday at Silver Sands caravan park as a child in Caister, sadly i dont think it is there anymore. Very fond memories of Great Yarmouth. Keep up the great work pal. liked and subbed
Just read this lol thank you means a lot
Hi Tim myself and family are off to caister on sea Haven resort next June 2021 can't wait to do this walk
Thanks brett, a while to wait then 🌞
i used to stay at silver sands holiday parl. it used to be a ladbrooks owned caravan park. that was back in the seventies xxxx

I can see why you would love to come here. Walking around there must be wonderful. It truly is so pretty. Love that area!
It really is!
