Couple nearly washed away, Porth - Cornwall

[HatersHater1000]

they got soaked, thats for sure, but to say they were nearly washed away is a bit of a stretch.

[cornwallgeezer]

Well in fact 'porth' actually means cove, harbour or a port, it's cornish not olde English.

Another common one in Cornwall is 'Penn' which means headland like Penzance, Pensans.

[cornwallgeezer]

Porth means beach in cornish not olde English, you knob!

[fruitloop4eva]

porth actually means beach in ye olde english according to the dudes on "coast " so porth beach means beach beach ha how gud is that ! :P

@rick928

Ever heard of being helpful?  When he asked where's Porth? presumably he meant where in cornwall.

[Jackaky]

@cheyennebritbrat he means Portsmouth cornwall

[Nostrinian]

More storm thickies.

[CornwallGiude]

I'm not really sure? But still Porth beach is nice. Nice vid!

[CornwallGiude]

Sorry, Porth is on the outskirts of Newquay and Porth beach is one of Newquays beaches.

[dawn740]

So why is it called Porth and not Newquay? And who cares? Excellent video!

[CornwallGiude]

I think it used to be a Port, that's why it's called Porth, because, Porth stands for Port. I heard it used be Newquay's main Port.

[Donkfest1]

Porth is in Newquay by the way.

[rick928]

Porth is next to to Newquay, not in it.

[Donkfest1]

Porth is part of Newquay - a district of the town.

[rick928]

So why is it called Porth and not Newquay?

[Donkfest1]

The same way that Treloggan and Treninnick are part of Newquay. They are areas of Newquay. I was only trying to inform people where Porth is.

[cornwallgeezer]

@rick928 Maybe it's called porth because it means cove in Cornish!

[chloweee123]

Looll i've had that happen to me there before, not on the bridge tho on one of the random sticky out bitss it was fuck scary lol i was with some of myy mates and some man whistled so we looked and then got hit by the wave :P luckily it wasnt that powerfulll but it was huuugee :P

[dawn740]

[lordkrill]

[icudan]

Rikkie is a necrophiliac so he would have shagged the bodies, right Rikkie?

[rick928]

[antho736]

[PinkFairyDust01]

Haha at 0:13 it looks like the mans about to commit suicide over the edge!

[ollienewquay]

well good vid! was that on 10 march? check my vid of mawgan porth out it was pretty amazing too

[rick928]

Yes it was the 10th of March storm.

[CornwallGiude]

I heard that storm was a bad one!

[rick928]

I stood on top of the headland at 'Porth' that day, I can honestly say I have never known wind like it! To see the sea like it was that day was something else!

[CornwallGiude]

Yeah, I heard it was a massive Atlantic storm and winds got up to 80mph and waves reached up to 35ft. Awsome vid though mate!

[voodoochilled1]

oops, bet they had to change their pants when they got home!

[ripcurl18dude]

awesome

[surfinkakashi]

this is way cool i would have never thought that in my life i would see a wave go over that bridge in between that bridge at Porth in cornwall it was cool.

[rick928]

I went back the next day and a bigger wave must have hit the bridge in the night as it was damaged! (big piece of wood had been removed)

[surfinkakashi]

I cant blive that at porth beach the waves would come over that i wiuld have never thought that would happen ever in my life it was way cool.
