      yep, that would be me then, when I was a lad there was an old concrete toilet (back in the late1950's) on the bottom deck of the west pier, we used to wave dodge as the tide was coming in, and run into the toilet from the waves that overtoped, if we stayed too long and couldn't get back to the ladder at the pier end, there were and still are some metal rungs on one of the wooden uprights that we used to climb up, we were only little lads only maybe between 6-10 year old, if you look carefully in some of the clips you can still see the rungs. The broken down sea wall was another place were we could try to kill ourselves. Hundreds of young Whitby lads grew up wave dodging, but also learning respect for the sea. Trouble is visitors don't always have that respect or know how dangerous it can be.

  • @kdog3908
    @kdog3908 8 месяцев назад

    We used to do it all the time as kids whenever there was a heavy sea + spring tide, ~ a hundred miles further up the coast in Northumberland. Don't ever recall anyone being caught and swept out to sea in my lifetime. Was quite good fun, which is why we did it. Would I encourage it? I'm ambivalent on the question, tbh. Learning to assess and take risks is a valuable life lesson.

    • @thewhitbyphotographer
      @thewhitbyphotographer  8 месяцев назад

      Dont get me wrong, as an adult I take risks daily, all assessed and managed as best I can. But as the guardian of young Children I wouldn't expose them to the same risks I expose myself to until they were much older. Thats a parents duty.
      Its quite short sighted to believe that its all ok and no one ever comes to harm, but short sighted is exactly what it is.
      I can give you numerous examples of people in our, and your immediate area who have lost thier lives to the sea.
      Down here in Whitby, I have a close friend, a fellow photographer, who, as a teenager was wave dodging on Sandsend Slipway with another friend of the same age.
      Something bad happened that day and the pair were washed off the slipway and into the sea. A quick thinking Policeman put a lifebelt around himself and went in after them. Fortunately for Chris the Policeman got him out.
      When they eventually got the second teen out of the water, he was pronounced dead on scene. Thats a harsh reality. Chris is 41 now and he tells me that haunts him to this day. Sadly his friend never made it out of his teenage years.
      Further to that story, I think this one is just as hard hitting.
      Quote from the coroners Court..
      "A mother and her two children died when they were swept out to sea by huge waves as they watched the high seas, a Scarborough inquest heard. Kim Barrett, 33, of West Park, Leeds, died with her son Luke Greenwood, 11, and daughter Aimee, 13, during a family trip to Scarborough's North Bay on March 13"

    • @kdog3908
      @kdog3908 8 месяцев назад

      @@thewhitbyphotographer Which is why you assess risks before you take them. For example, in my own experiences there were people who took it too far, like walking along the top of the sea wall, tightrope style and jumping off before the wave hit. There were a couple of my mates who couldn't even swim. Those of us who could would half joking, half seriously tell them we wouldn't be jumping in after them if they fell in. Some of them were more careful after those warnings. Some were not. While my own dad wasn't against me being out on the promenade during a storm, I suspect a robust leathering would've occurred had I been caught doing the 'tightrope' thing. There were some things I feared worse than a storm. Dad's wrath was one of them.
      One thing we do firmly agree on is not allowing young kids to do stuff like this. They lack the faculties to make even rudimentary risk assessments.
      "Its quite short sighted to believe that its all ok and no one ever comes to harm, but short sighted is exactly what it is."
      I agree. I don't doubt people come to harm. I don't think I suggested otherwise. For example, a school friend died when a section of cliff collapsed on top of him and buried him. Another drowned after breaking and falling through a crust on top of a lagoon filled with ash slurry from the local power station.
      My ultimate point? Well, life is inherently risky. You can either take risks and accept the potentially deadly consequences or you can play it very safe and live a long, life where every unknown is a terrifying threat. Ideally, we play somewhere in between those extremes. Or not. To each, their own.

    The stupidity of people never ceases to amaze me. It's all fun and games till the screaming starts, and the screaming always starts.
    Look at that sea, brings to mind the book Dracula, the ship he came to Britain on, was said to be in a wild sea and looked like it wouldn't make it into the harbour, those that watched it from the land said
    " In the searchlight was seen a schooner with all sales set, thoes watching realised the awful danger the schooner was in, yet some how between the piers, they saw the schooner leaping from wave to wave as it rushed at speed its sails still set, she gained the safety of the harbour. The searchligh followed her and in that light all who were there, had a shudder run through them, for there in the light of the searchlight, they saw the master of this ship was lashed to the helm, it was obvious he was dead, his drooping head swung to and fro with the motion of the ship, there were no others on the deck at all, it was like a miracle that this ship had found the harbour. As the ship came to rest on the sand under the east cliff , the strangest thing then happened as soon as the ship touch land a very large black dog was seen on the deck it ran and jumped from the bow to the land and up the steep cliff towards the churchyard, and disappeared into the darkness."
    I imagine the sea to be very similar to what you filmed. I was happy to see there was no ship under full sail trying to make the harbour.
    As you have already figured out, I've read the book Dracul many, many times, and I love Whitby partly because I read the book but once I got to visit Whitby I fell in love with the town for itself. I now live in West Yorkshire, so I'd do visit quite often. I would love to see a spring high tide, but there is no way I'd be standing on that pier with waves that big, being swept into that water, well that it would be game over.
