  • Hello and thanks for visiting my channel.
    Something a bit different on this video, join me as I try to follow a naturally occurring tidal surge on the River Trent. The Aegir was predicted to be a 5* tidal bore, but would we get it? Would Mother Nature be kind to us? Check out the video to find out!
    Thanks again for visiting the channel
    James

    Thanks for sharing that. It's amazing our mother nature, isn't it. It's also quite scary knowing there's a force controlling our tides! Fascinating! 😊

    Hi James, that was so interesting! I grew up in Scunny and never knew that about the Aegir. I am definitely going to go watch one! Are there any goods walks around Gainsborough?☺

      @@carriehikes ah didn’t realise you were local! There’s a few places to explore, there’s lots of the Trent you can walk, the chesterfield and fossdyke canals are nice too. Laughton forest is good to get lost in for a few hours also. We’ve not got many hills to climb but we’ve still got lots of amazing countryside and places to see. Thanks for watching as always 😊

    We have the same thing where I live on the banks of the Ouse there's even a property in the village called Aeger house . We've lived there 3 years and I've only seen the bore once . Perhaps that's cos I'm always at bloody work 😕

      @@SandyVollans you should get it at the same time we do I think mate, as the tide goes down the Humber then splits down the Trent and Ouse.

    Never knew we had a bore on the Trent although i have fished at Dunham bridge in the past. Can i ask if Gainsborough Trinity are still going ?

    Great footage thanks James.
    What were the river levels like?
    As you say a very fickle bore that needs just the right conditions.
    I’ve been wanting to surf it for years but it never feels like the right time. This month clearly not 😂
