Class vid! Lucky man getting it all to yourself in lockdown as well!
Great video with good camera footage and well narrated with the odd funny. The one thing that I would draw peoples attention to, is the absolute need for walking boots and poles, which were deemed as not necessary by our young fit man Chris. Some of us aren't 21 anymore and not as fit and well balanced as we'd like. Those craggy rock sections are potential ankle breakers and the precipitous path climbing Outer Worm's Head needs the addditional support of good walking poles. One slip and you could be making friends with the seals! Other than that, it was a good video...I enjoyed it.
I'd echo the need for poles and boots if you are getting on a bit and /or not so sure footed as you used to be! The rocky bits are at a steep angle; you have to be careful not to turn an ankle.
Enjoyed your film very much Chris. As a now retired senior sea canoeing instructor / examiner some of your unusual drone filming of the 'Worm' brought back some amazing memories. For my recent 72 birthday I had a drone as a gift. At the moment getting used to it in Underhill Park, here in Mumbles. Had many ideas from your film as I know the Gower coast so well from my canoeing days and can't think of a more beautiful place to start. I will leave the trek out to the Worm to you. Da iawn ti.

It's probably 20 years since I've been out there, often go to Rhossili though.
Enjoyed the video mate.
My first time in Wales and visited Worm Head although it was high tide, what a spectacular place.
Your video was first class and I would love to come back one day and do the same hike 👍👍👍
Awesome video man
Just came across your channel. I'm a Welsh Exile of Swansea ! so this video was great. Diolch 😊
great views at the caves in the front of the island
Dylan Thomas once ventured across as a child in the 1930s, but I think he must have forgotten about that 5-hour window between tides you mentioned. He later wrote of his terror of being stranded all day with just the fuming white breakers and a few gritty sandwiches for company!
Great video mate, never done the head before, thanks for showing me what to expect 👍🏻
Brilliant video! Thanks for sharing, Kat and I are keen to explore this at some point, found your video very informative and detailed! Going to have a look at more from your channel now. You are a natural 🤗
Saw your video on sgwd einion gam recently and went there a few days ago..have been going to the elidir trail for 30+ years but only knew about it recently.i did take take a trek pole as knew the river crossings were slippy but fab and peaceful spot.caught my first bass on worms head circa 1997 at around 5am and great vid as always!
Top class video mate, never seen worms head from that point before, thanks for your adventure.
Brilliant video! I was there yesterday with my 12y daughter . Unfortunately we couldn’t go across the the worms head . Very informative video! Gower is beautiful!
Last time I was there the car park was a field, gotta get out there for a wild camp fish-over! 🐟🐟🐟
EXCELLENT presentation.
Thanks; good tour.
Thanks for this, it bought back memories of a geography field trip with Miss A!!an from Gowerton girls school in1960's😀
great video
Astounding. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing hike! I am wondering why didn't you consider flyinig a drone through the hole under the Devil bridge
Fantastic - thanks so much for sharing. Welsh lass who resides - at the mo - in CH 💝
Do you reckon you could camp on the island?
You missed the eye of the worm little cave high up right through
Do the National Trust allow you to fly drones on their land? I thought you weren't allowed to as it causes disturbance to wildlife.
I really enjoyed this video. I was there a few months ago. Please can you tell me what editing software you use for your videos?
Lol!...crack🤣
