  • Coastal Exploring - Rockpooling, Fossil Hunting and Beach-combing in Whitby in North Yorkshire. Visiting my ancestral home I take you for a walk around the local coastline and to where I began my passion for marine life and the shore. A lot of people have been asking where it all started for me... Here it is.

      I once came across a shoal of sandeels trapped in a large rockpool on Anglesey. Caught some of them with a kids fishing net and in doing so noticed activity from a large flatfish and a lobster. Managed to catch an eating sized Brill which was delicious, but couldn't get the lobster without diving in as the pool was too deep. Also used the sandeels to catch a few pollack and mackerel off the rocks. Happy memories.

    Beautiful part of the country. I'm from the South-East but I've got family in Pickering, Whitby and Goathland, this video reminded me of fossil hunting and turning rocks as a kid around those parts. There's an old shipwreck a bit further along in Sandsend that my grandad used to take me to, it was a long walk along the old train track from Sandsend carpark. You'd have to climb down the cliff and could only get to the shipwreck on the lowest of spring tides, the wreck has 2 big round engines visible - do you have any info on it? I've always been curious of the history of it!

I love the beech but I cant go near it now cus buggys sink in sand and stones so I cant get near to the sea. I have found your videos brilliant I love watching you go fishing and catching crabs and lobsters. I have adored you going on the sea shore and digging round, I would love to do that but can't. Seeing you catch and eat the shell fish with your family is brilliant, this might sound silly but I felt like I was there with you. Thank you for sharing what you do and I will watch out for other videos that you do. I had an accident 15 years ago I went under an 11 ton steam roller worst thing being disabled can't get anywhere near the sea and I love the sea, anyway thank you so much and I will join you again for one of your adventures take care Debbie not David xxxx

    Love your video. I live in Cape May County, New Jersey in the United States. We also have a cement shipwreck, the SS Atlantus. It was the 2nd of 12 built during and after WWI.
    In 1926 it ran aground 150' off Diamond Beach. That particular beach is covered in small stones instead of typical sand. If you're lucky to find the clear stones, they can be polished, cut, and sometimes are mistaken for real diamonds. It's quite a tourist attraction.
