  • Coastal Exploring - Rockpooling, Fossil Hunting and Beach-combing in Whitby in North Yorkshire. Visiting my ancestral home I take you for a walk around the local coastline and to where I began my passion for marine life and the shore. A lot of people have been asking where it all started for me... Here it is.

    I grew up in Whitby area. My grandad was known for walking with his dogs as he had a distinctive walk - his name was Alec. He carved jet, Whitby always reminds me of him, I watch your channel often as it reminds me of my childhood and your voice is a lot like my uncle’s.

    Loved watching your videos ! All of them . I am in my 60's and live in the States (Ohio ) but I grew up in California. I miss the West Coast and always spent my time at the Beach, Tide pooling, Fossil hunting . I use to take my Children on hunting Adventures. They are now all grown up. But its still a passion of mine. To hunt along the Coast .I have been Hunting in Mexico , California and Oregon. Amazing things you'll find on the Beach . Thank you for bringing it alive for me again !

    Very interesting & informative video John. I actually called my wife in to watch because she used to visit Whitby from Middlesbrough where she grew up before her mom, who had lost two husbands, decided to migrate to Australia with her 4 girls, 2 from each husband. I met her, married her & that was 59 years ago. It brought back some pleasant memories for her so we both thank you for this trip down memory lane for her. As I said, very educational walk along the shore. Cheers, Don from South Aust.

    Another great video. What a beautiful place you grew up in. The coastline reminds me of the coast around the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia where my mother's side of the family is. The cliffs there and the rocky beach areas are very similar, and you can get caught at the bottom of the cliffs by the incoming tide. Beware! Two girls who grew up near where my aunts and uncles live were forced to climb the cliffs near Margaret's Bay and found a hole in the cliff filled with amethyst. Thanks for the video

    • @TheFishLocker

      - Thank you Elizabeth. As always it is my pleasure. :D I have to confess that one time as a kid I did get stuck by the tide and did the same thing. Climbed up onto a bit of the lower cliff and waited the 6 hours for it to go back down again. haha.

My friends said that fish had been swimming in the sea about thirty minutes before we enjoyed it. I also came back with a jet necklace. Great memories. Some of these days, maybe I will make it back!

    Forgive me if someone’s said already and I missed it but re: the red periwinkle if you only see them once in a great while I’d guess it’s a mutation in melanin production, in other animals a- or hypo- melanism leaves the creature in shades of red or orange so the red winkle would fit.

When I first saw your video's, I thought he's not from around there. I thought north of Whitby, maybe Redcar, accent had me wondering. Anyway Lad love the video's especially when your out with the young beach comber and Mrs Fish locker. Love that coastline from Hull to Seahouses, fish and chips and Kippers too, nice seafood to nibble on while walking along the sea front. When we get rid of this Covid-19 I'll be over to Yorkshire from Canada for family and friends, Coast and country-side. Watch out for Christopher Lees spirit up by the Abby
