  • Ever seen a seal do backstroke? Ever seen Dolphins at South Stack? Ever seen Porpoise off South Stack? Ever wondered how long the wave from the Irish Ferry takes to reach Parliament House Cave? Ever see baby Seals frolicking at North Stack? Ever see Ireland from South Stack? Ever see the Isle of Man from Holyhead Mountain? Ever see me with lungs like a turned out trouser pocket on top of Holyhead Mountain? Well wonder no more, it's all here in glorious HD especially for you. A lot of the times I'm away kayaking, I end up with a day off or two. This trip from Oct. 2016 had only a brief afternoon's paddle, but this walk to North Stack will always make it a memorable trip even if it were for the wrong reasons. So there's no paddling, and the wind played havoc with the soundtrack, and did it's best to unsteady me on various cliff edges, but hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I did.

    Born and bred in Holyhead, I always enjoy your videos of your visits to the area. The appreciation you show of the region reinforces my belief that it was a fantastic place in which to grow up. I believe that last year there were orca spotted off South Stack ...

    Hey!
    Love your videos, the dolphins are Risso's dolphins! A regular visitor to Anglesey in the autumn months! They're quite Orca like! We've recently put a video up filming them off point Lynas! 🐬💙

    Frank, Awesome video, beautiful footage as usual...but omg I am sooo afraid of heights! Don't fall! Mighty scary indeed!

      I was ok with heights until I did this.......ha ha. The older one gets, the wiser one gets, and self-preservation is rather wise don't you agree? I was a lot safer than it looked except at Annie's Arch, when I looked down, my feet had turned into hands and were gripping the rocks like monkey's feet......

    Brilliant video - especially the backstroking seal pup!
    I got the heebie jeebies watching your feet dangling over the cliff edges! Once again, thanks for uploading.

      Don't worry, I may look and act daft, but when it comes to pain, I am a devout coward, ha ha.

      GBPaddling You're a helluva lot braver than I would be near those cliffs! Hope 2018 brings blue skies & sunshine weather for the kayaking. All the best...

    Great video Frank, what a beautiful place by land and sea!! What a great place to live! Thanks for sharing!

      The dwelling at North Stack was up for sale for a number of years for £475,000, but @ 24mins 04secs........that is the only road to the house. Can't imagine Curry's or DFS doing a delivery there eh? A helicopter landing pad would be great, and believe it or not, there is one already at Rhoscolyn.

    Hello Frank, Just catching up. Fabulous Video, We've been living on Anglesey 4 years now and although I've driven to the RSPB Centre at South Stack it was so frustrating not being able to get any further on these crappy old legs of mine. You somehow make it feel as if I'm there with you. Thanks for giving me the next best thing. All the Best, Pete Maher / Penysarn-Anglesey

    • @GBPaddling
      @GBPaddling  6 лет назад

      Thanks Pete, it is quite a hike further on, but that tarmac path will afford you some good views - @8min41secs, from there on it starts getting a little dodgy, but ok until about 9min 03secs. After that it would probably pose problems for you, but then again a whole lot better than 416 steps down to South Stack?

    That was too close to the edge for my liking lol, beautiful footage of the wildlife.

      The worst it was @19min, the later bits I was perfectly safe, sat on the edge of the cliff. You wanna be there when they abseil down and climb up, now that is hair raising.

    Great wildlife footage; I really enjoyed.
    I don't know about you but heights like that tickle my nuts.
    Also, I am curious which magazine was in that elaborate building @39:24? Good Housekeeping, National Geographic, Gardeners World?

    É muito triste
    Uma pessoa está em um Paraíso
    E não sabe fazer uma filmagem
