@FairBritannia It's a doddle when conditions allow,really.There is some tidal flow,but nothing you can't paddle against,I had a bit of trouble in one cave as the wind was swirling through,and so was the tide.Pick a good day and it is easy,and a trip the other way(North West) to Bempton Cliffs is even easier(see the other video) the bird life here is worth the trip alone,the caves are a bonus.I rushed it all really as I was delayed in traffic on the way there,and wind stopped play around the Head
@onlywhenpissed Seen it - disaster! that must have been cold? still not over this flu yet and the thought of my head going in that cold water at the moment,does not appeal - to put it mildly!!!!!!!
@onlywhenpissed No,too many other places to go,but I will go back,had a really great time there,the day after,I went up to Whitby,and combined Sea Paddle,with some fossil hunting,and a very relaxing trip up the River Esk,all highly reccomended.
@hinzdean You would be lucky to get underwater visibilty like that in winter months at Flamborough,in summer maybe.You might get lucky in April or so if we get a settled spell of weather.The East coast is not noted for good visIbility,until you get to Beadnell or so,even then, close inshore it is usually bad if there is any waves or swell.The first time I dived the Farnes,it was spectacular out on the Islands,but inshore,like Ox-tail soup! That was Februrary,and the water very cold indeed.
@peterkills Did the "Farnes" Thur. 20th May,loads of Puffins out there too - fabulous stuff,get out there and get what you can while it lasts - this could be summer!! Like to go back to Flamborough as I didn't see all of it,it takes some beating for birdlife,and the caves are superb.
if you go mid tide there are some caves that afre full at high tide and you cant see/get in be carefull though need ahelmet on these ones really as it can be a bit tight,going next week to try my new yak out ill see if i can get some piccys.
@peterkills Yeah,I've only been the once,and my assumptions were from pictures I've seen at low water,the whole area was spectacular,the birdlife amazing and deafening,another visit is certainly required.
Thanks,I think that may be the cave in question,that I paddle through,and the camera gets splashed,as I emerge,North Landing beach is on the left,It was high water,and a spring tide when I was there,so the water level wont really get any higher. The whole area is fantastic,would love to go again,it's just about the weather!
Great Video of Flanborough Head sea caves never seen these before! However on North Landing Beach at low tide. There is a cave on the right hand side, you walk or wade into which takes you to a Sea cave!
This is amazing! Did you consider all the sea monsters below you? ;)
