What a lovely day for your walk and the history with the Saxons and Vikings. One thing we don't find down here is Viking history. Stunning bird hide a great place to go. Have a fantastic weekend ATB Jamie and Rachel 😊👍❤️
East Anglia has lots of Viking history, I can imagine the island would be a great place to metal detect too 😊 catch up soon guys 😊
Northey Island is beautiful, Stephen! Gorgeous landscape and lovely spring flowers. I had never heard the term "bird hide" before but found out it was like a bird blind. We loved the sound of the birds! Kathy and I would enjoy living in the Wardens house. (I wonder if there's pizza delivery?) Loved spending a wonderful day with you and Peter. Thanks so much for bringing us along.
Thank you Dave and Kathy, it is certainly a very lovely island, I would love to live here too, if it wasn’t for all of the spiders. I never filmed that, but the marsh land is full of them.
I think pizza might be a no lol 😂 you may not have phone reception to call for delivery anyway lol 😆 it’s a great island though, there was something very peaceful about it peaceful and very calming 😉
More great content from a beautiful location. The good weather certainly makes a difference on days like this. Thanks for sharing Stephen 🙂👍
Thank you Mick, sending my best buddy and catch up soon 😉😊
First. Hello my good friend always enjoy watching your videos. Awesome totally awesome
Thank you very kindly my friend 😊😉
Thank you Stephen! Always interesting to learn from your wonderful channel! Thank you so kindly for sharing!
Thank you very kindly, hope all well and sending my best to you 😉😊
great to come on the walk with you, this island does have a special type of allure about it! Thank you for the share, it was intriguing and interesting. All the best 😊😊
Thank you guys, the island certainly has something mysterious about it, it’s a great location too 😊😉 all the best and catch up soon
Such a ghostly beautiful place Stephen, nice around the wardens house.
👋😀
Thank you guys, I loved this walk, sending my best and catch up soon 😊😉
Nice explore, good visit to this very interesting looking place, very interesting to be able to find some old ancient building 11:27 👍
Thank you very kindly my friend 😊😉
Beautiful adventure along a peaceful Island. Enjoyed the way you did the video. Very relaxing 👍😊
Thank you Cheryl, it’s a lovely island and whole area is interesting too, I even got to do a bit of mud larking along way too 😊😉
Hey Stephen, great little video and very interesting little island. Love the history associated with it too. 👍
Thank you very kindly my friend 😊😉
Stunning place, I can just imagine the Viking there. Great video 🙂
Thank you Cara, the place is very lovely 😊 I can imagine the vikings there myself
Very enjoyable walk Stephen! The "new" bird hide is pretty cute! I enjoyed hearing the birdsong as well. Very cool place.
It’s very peaceful here and a wonderful place to hide away from the world for a short time. Although I’m not if I would want to live there. I saw how many spiders there were. It’s like spider Island lol 😂 shame I didn’t film it. Catch up soon
@@StephenandYhana lol I think that would hold a lot of people back! The birds must like them for snacks.
Hi Stephen, apologies we are just catching up on your channel. Really enjoyed coming along on this walk with you. Some great scenery there, always so interesting to go across a causeway, feels so cut off from the rest of the world. Amazing that their island only got electricity so recently! Thanks for talking us along, Shell and Pete😁👍
Hi Shell and Pete, I find that fascinating too, I have no idea how the warden managed for so long, I’m guessing he used generators. Imagine it… no WiFi either 🙀 lol 😂
बहुत सुंदर जगह देख कर दिल को काफी सुकून मिल जाता है ऐसी जगह को
Thank you very much, for such a lovely comment 😊 The place is very beautiful for sure 😊
Awesome tour of the North Island Stephen. I enjoyed your walk with Peter and it was cool to see the Wardens house, it looks pretty interesting to see. Nice day exploring and cool piece of pottery you came across. I really enjoyed. Have a great week, Christine 👍😊🇨🇦
Thank you Christine, for the lovely comment 😉😊 sending my best to you and catch up soon 😉😊
Very interesting video, great footage. I enjoyed this trip very much, such a special place 👍
Thank you very kindly 😉😊
Awesome video and trip to the island. The causeway was pretty neat. I wonder if it ever floods over. Loved seeing the island with the ruins and artifacts there. Awesome find on the pottery. Well done. Take care and have a great day.
The causeway floods over twice a day, I think the island has suffered flooding in the past too, especially during high tide and storms combined. It was a wonderful visit, It’s a lovely area 😊 catch up soon guys
great little video and very interesting little island 😀😀😍👍
Thank you kindly my friend, sending my best and catch up soon 😉😊
Hi and thanks, Stephen and Yhana - History and Adventure Hunters for taking us to Northey Island in Blackwater. Wowow starting with a time-lapse of the sky. I hear gusty winds. Is it typical weather in May? I am not certain, but you visited Northey Island at the lowest tide??? So cool. I love visiting old weather rock ruins @6: 26! What? Actually, somebody resides here on the island @8:02. No internet? they must like a solitary life away from the chaos. Very informative and educational video. OMG, you are a great storyteller. Look forward to watching more of your videos. Cheerio! 😊😊
Thank you so much 😊😊 for such a lovely supportive comment 😊 it is much appreciated, the island was amazing 😊 a beautiful visit for sure 😊 it amazed me too, that someone lives on that island all alone 😊 catch up soon my friend 😉
What a beautiful island! 🤩
Thanks for sharing 😀
Thank you Raquel, sending my best and catch up soon 😉😊
We’ve never heard of this island. Our English geography and history knowledge is shocking!! What a cool place. I’d have loved to have seen this place in Viking times. Wow it only got electricity 7 years ago how crazy, but again how wonderful to live in that solitude! That’s the coolest bird hide ever, it’s a turret!! Great video, we really loved the scenery and views on this one. Cheers and hello to poor Yhana who is in school! 🍻
Lol, Yes Yhana missed out sadly, but when she heard I was just going for a walk, she didn’t mind so much lol 😂 she is not a fan of walking lol 😆 thank you guys, sending our best and catch up soon
What a wonderful place to visit - and you had a lovely day for it too! The Wardens house looks like a great place to live. Fascinating to think of the Saxons and Vikings battling there. Interesting video, Stephen and Peter!
Thank you Julie and Lucy, for the lovely comment 😉😊 sending our best to you and catch up soon 😊
Wow, talk about being "off-grid"! Not an area you would want to get caught in the middle of at a high tide time! Now that really was a great explore! If you did something with the colour, it sure had a great effect! Bruce and Otis
I did do something with the colour lol, I desaturated the video, as the area is bleak and I kind of wanted to show that in the video. Well done buddy for noticing that 😉😊 catch up with you wonderful guys soon 😊
I saw your comment on another channel and came over to visit and I am a new subscriber to your channel today. Thank you for this video. :)
Thank you very kindly for the sub, it’s much appreciated 😊 I will check out your channel too shortly 😊
Hello Stephen and Peter! It’s a lovely little island isn’t it. You have to make the most of it when the weather is good! Me and shell took the opportunity to go out this week alone. (That upload is 2 months away lol) wow only recently got electricity! Like the bench! Enjoyed that guys! Have a great weekend
Thank you buddy, it’s a lovely little island 😉😊 looking forward to seeing the video you made of just you and Shell. 😊 always good to have a bit of quite time lol
Hi Stephen. A really unique and atmospheric landscape! It must be a lonely and isolated life for the warden. Not sure if I envy him/her or not! 😁
I like the idea of the solitude myself, although I can imagine winters are pretty ghastly on that island, not to mention the millions of spiders are saw crawling around on the grassy mud flats lol 😆
Lovely video again Stephen. You can just picture vikings and saxons here battling to the death. Very interesting little bird hut you found, looks like an old well as its right by the lake. What an isolated place for the warden to live. I bet they have to make sure they are well stocked for food, cant just pop to the shop for a pint of milk!
It must be tough living out there for sure, although the cottage did look very lovely 😉😊 I do like the idea of all that peace and quietness though 😊
Very enjoyable walk Stephen
Thank you very kindly my friend 😊😉
Very beautiful place
Thank you very kindly my friend 😊😉
That is really a nice place to be visiting 😊
Thank you very kindly my friend 😊😉
Wow 🥰🥰 the place looks calm 🥰
Thank you very kindly my friend 😊😉 ❤️
Very interesting and atmospheric place.
It is for sure, it’s very interesting there. Great location for a peaceful walk 😊
That was a cool bird hide although like you said a very small window for it. Nice exploration Stephen. Don't think id like to camp on that island though lol
Lol 😂 I thought the same thing, imagine camping on this island on the same night of the year that the battle took place, that would be very Eerie, I bet it’s haunted 😊
@@StephenandYhana definitely haunted 😄
nice sharing video friend
Thank you kindly my friend, sending my best and catch up soon 😉😊
It would have been a bloody battle, thats for sure. Wow! 2015 when it got its electricity, did they have gas? Love the stone work 6:50 Pretty garden. Great walk, thank you for taking us along Stephen. Have a great week. See you gain soon. 🙏🏽👍🏽🤗
Thank you guys for watching and for the comment too 😊😉 I don’t think they have any gas pipes on this island. Just electric and off cause they only received that a few years back. They must have had to run everything on generators. Tough living I’m sure 😊😉
Great video as always, never realized how beautiful that area actually was. Great tour and now I have to look into booking a trip myself :P
Full support to you and your channel! Like 34
Thank you kindly, The Blackwater Estuary is very lovely and lots to explore too. I plan to explore a lot more of this area soon, as so much to see 😊😉 catch up soon
Looks really nice there I must visit there xxxx
Thank you, it’s a very lovely walk and an easy one too, with a nice spot to sit down xx koko would enjoy it xxx
Nice walk! The scenery reminds me of paintings of the Dutch or northern French landscape. I imagine the tide will sneak up on you there. Just look at the profusion of cow parsely (?) around that stone adopted bird hide.It's always exciting going over a causeway - that frisson of almost fear that you might get caught out! Nice to get some history too: I've been watching and enjoying The Last Kingdom which is right up my street! Thanks for the walk with out and your buddy. ATB, Terry
Hi Terry, thank you for the lovely comment, there are some dangerous stretches along this coast where the water does come in very fast. One is the most dangerous pathway in England, called ‘the Broomway’, we are not allowed on it, unless your with a guide. I do plan to do that walk this summer. I certainly love the landscape here, probably the best we have in Essex.
Nothing like the Scottish landscape of cause. My great grandmother’s family came from Aberdeenshire. I hope to do a big visit there again one day soon 😊 catch up soon Terry.
Nice quiet you pace. Thanks for sharing
Thank you kindly my friend 😉😊 sending my best to you 😊😉
Loved this and UPDATE! my challenge to you goes live TODAY!! debs xx
Thank you Debs, I’m gonna start practicing that dance this week lol 😂 looks like a lot of fun, I’m sure Yhana will be a pro at it 😊😉
991 was a busy year, nice and peaceful place now, definitely Olaf was not home, just ordered myself a Viking pizza!
Lol 😂😃 now a Viking pizza sounds very lovely, I wouldn’t mind trying one of those myself lol 😆
Thanks for sharing 👍💕🙏
Thank you kindly my friend, sending my best and catch up soon 😉😊
.The state of Baja California Sur where I live is a peninsula and I have a coastline on both sides. There are landscapes very similar to this. Greetings my good friend.
Thank you buddy for the comment and for watching too, it’s much appreciated 😊 very cool that you have an area that looks similar. I would never have expected that 😊 sending my best
Assalamualaikum kawan lama hadir ya ka sukses selalu untuk channel nya

Nyimak bosku 😘 salam santun dari pendatang baru ❤ semoga sehat dan makin sukses lagi kedepannya🤲
Thank you very kindly my friend 😉😊
Thank you my friend. I have never been there
It’s very interesting and probably a great place to metal detect too lol 😆
What a nice area. The tie really goes out doesn't it. Have you ever gotten stuck out there?
Luckily I have never got stuck out there, but my grew up on a coastal village not far from here, and as a child, she once got stuck in the mud as the tide came in. She was lucky to get out
Great tour 👍👍👍👍😁
Thank you very kindly my friend 😊😉
