 Here I go. It's calm, it looks pretty, the visibility looks good from up there but I've been caught out by that before and it's been shit once I've got in. But fingers crossed, A will have visibility and B will be able to pluck something out or will this just be one of them other videos where it's maximum effort, minimum reward. Another day, another attempt. These are all blurring into one, these little intros I'm doing. I'm sort of giving up hope with them because nothing really comes of it. But I'm in a new location. Have a little look around here and then venture out see what we can find. So I got in the sea. The visibility wasn't great near the shore so I swam out a little bit and dived down amongst the kelp and the visibility was pretty good considering we're up north. So I was chilling on the bottom. I decided to fluff up some sand and knock a couple of rocks together just to see if I could lure in an inquisitive bass. But alas, no go. As you can see here, the visibility is pretty good considering we're up north. We were looking at about maybe four or five meters which I was more than happy with. It was, I was enjoying myself and here I was swimming across the top of the kelp and I saw a hole and I was like, let's go. And so I dived down into the hole as you can see here and it took me out to a reef. A reef of Franklin, if you will. And I was buzzing my nuts. Spent a lot of time on this reef just exploring around the rocks and some places there were pretty deep so it was good to practice my breath hold and really get a good free dive out of it. I found this. A chap hiding in a hole. A brown crab. Soon got it out though. I didn't have anything to measure them with but I could just see that he was just undersized. So let him have a look at the sun. Pickle his head a little bit and then set him back on his way. See you later mate. Mr. Fulmore coming in for a close up look. That was pretty cool. Well it's just a lovely place to spend an evening. I had to put some graft to get this one out. Put a lot of time and effort into getting it out. A lot of breath holds and then when it did bolt I chased after it and managed to grab it. I can let it go mate, I can let it go. Thanks for your time. Female, the carapace is just ever so slightly soft. Not massively but enough to make me think it's shed recently so I can let it go. Farewell mate, fare thee well. This was a real highlight for me. I was swimming through the kelp and I caught sight of a fish in my peripheral vision and had to look and it was a sea trout which it's illegal to catch but wonderful to see. You can see it there. It sees me, it turns. It wasn't a skittish. I mean if I was starving that would have been game on but that certainly was the cherry on the cake of a fruitless but wonderful dive. I'm out, that was a lovely dive though. I went quite far out of this bit here and found a lovely reef. Some real nice deep bits. Look at the sun going down mate. It's a nice evening. Lovely evening. Yeah, found some nice deep bits. Couple of decent brown crab just under I reckon. I had a shot on a bass but I missed it yet again. And then after I'd had that shot on the bass I was, can you state me? Cut, goggle marks. Yeah, after I'd had that shot on the bass I was just gliding through the kelp and my string on my bands popped out of the band I went mid a big bang. And I had a little underwater scream. I didn't know what had gone on. Such a loud noise and a vibration through my gun. You know what had gone on sir? That was that. I was in there for a good two hours. Empty handed yet again man. This is, it's hard work this stuff because I'm, you know, I mean I love it. I'm doing it for the love of it but I'm also trying to get a video together as well. And it's just not happening because I aren't catching anything. Whether you have the pot or the fire. What can I do man? I've just been rocking it all week. I've been, it's been about five times. Day after day and it's hard man because I don't live near the coast anymore. So the petrol money's kicking my ass. So I think this is gonna be the last one. I was really hoping for a bass. I think this might be the last one. I might try over the weekend if I can muster it but it's just kicking my ass with petrol and that sir. Back to camping I think and we'll give it a few weeks before we come back and try for that Yorkshire, that elusive Yorkshire bass. Nice evening nonetheless. And I'm back again. Try me look. Yet again. But it's a lot choppier and there are waves breaking on them. On this reef out here it looks. It's not as cool as before mate. It looks a little bit more choppy sir. And the visibility looks as bad as I've seen it. You can't really see much. Looks pretty bad but I'm gonna get in and try and get out past them waves and dive down and see if it clears up a little bit. But just remember to just add this to the list of intros that I haven't materialized into anything. This time might be different though. You might be sticking around because I've got a secret weapon. I'll show you. Cut out. So just spinning off the side for bass, macro pollock, anything that'll take the lure. And I'm gonna have a look out here I think. Same story, different day. There's just no visibility up north. Classic back to this again. It was too choppy, couldn't see me and in front of my face, let alone tipping my spear and that's not a euphemism. But it's just an ogre where it's a shame because the Gannets are diving for food just off the reef that I found the other day. So you can guarantee it's fishy out there but can't see anything. So that's that. Jody catch out. There we go. There we go. It's tempting just to go to the air house and sack it all off. We'll see what the day brings. Made it. Small but worth it, wild strawberries. We've come, we've been hiking. We're up on to Moors. A little bit of a, a little bit of a jaunt. Not massive but we're away from coast anyway. Look at that, beautiful sunset. Can you see? There it is, look. Beautiful. And we're just pitching up down here. We're not having a fire because it's middle of summer and we're on Moors. It's no need. So we've just got a little picnic. So we've just got to have a picnic, a little bit of red wine and just chill out, chill out into the night. It's quite late anyway so it'll be an early one. I'm well aware that this whole video, this whole thing that I'm doing probably isn't worthy of a video in itself. We've got a little back rest there. We're having our little picnic. There's tents. And the sky's stunning. And there's Lamoon. Happy days. I'll talk about your fruit tents tomorrow but we're just going for without flies up at top. It's essentially like a bivvy. Enjoying the Yorkshire sunshine with a top off. No less. I just had this. Me, it didn't rain and it was wonderful waking up to the sun. Last sun. I had my ex-therm Neo air and the sleeping bag was actually my Vango synthetic one of the first bags they ever had. I just, it was the first one that came to hand. I thought it was going to be quite close so I just thought it was somewhat rugged, rough and ready but I was too up for the sleeping bag anyway. Just packed his up look, nothing but grass. There he is, there he is. And we just had picnic fodder last night, half a bottle of wine and we're good to go. I'm going to pack this skeletal tent up and then we're going to go find some water to dunk in. You know the script. We're here at this little idyllic little spot. I don't think there's much swimming to be done but we certainly can just sit and dunk the junk. Oh, this corner's more of a sea though. Eee, Ian Bale, Ian Bale. Whoa, there's a gentleman. This is, for some reason, this is very cold. Don't know what it's because it's thin or what. I've done a lot of wild swimming this year and this is like, oh, it's beautifully cold. Right, oh, oh, yeah, it's sweet underfoot lolls. Oh, I was just saying to my friend over there, like I miss winter, water's not cold enough at my local swim spots. I can't get that like cold water therapy vibe but this is it, this is back in the game. There we are, look. Just a couple of men looking to feel better about life. Just bathing outside with a load of flies. He's flyy, isn't he? Right, if you skip away all the like trees and the grass and all the niceness. Yeah, we were just basking a brown body of water with loads of flies. That's the one we're looking at at times. It's a lovely little stretch, actually. Sunshine in, a glorious day. Isn't it? We've had a glorious camp out, I really enjoyed it, man. Have you? He's loved it, look. It wasn't what we were thought it was gonna be. We didn't get anything from the sea because we couldn't go in. That's just how it is. We didn't do any beer reviews or chatting to the camera because that's just how it is. We did all our own chats and laughs together. And in fact, our new album, Chats and Laughes, will be coming out at the end of next month. It won't really. My little loomy duds, hoggy joke knuckles, raspect, who do you say? Say bye to everyone. Bye for now. And I'm gonna take you to me in the future briefly because I just want to have a little chat to you. So I'll, yeah, cut to me in the future. It's me, future me. So, I've been a bit off and I haven't been kicking about recently because Ed's been a bit of a shed. I got COVID and there's a few other bits of me that I haven't been able to do. I got COVID and there's a few other bits and pieces but I'll explain in time. This is where I am. Future me is here, multi-day hiking. And this will be the next video. A return to form, I reckon, as far as like scenery and things that I'm up to. Because I'm in the middle of it now. Thanks for sticking with me. And I really do appreciate it. Big up, Joey D. That was, it was a bit of a filler. I struggled to get anything together with that video. I reckon. I don't want feeling it. I just wanted to spend time with Joey D. But if you're into some, I mean, this next one's pretty good. If you're into that sort of thing. If you're into like hiking and just mucking about tint mountains. Thanks as always for watching. Take care of yourselves. Much love. Bye for now.
