Thanks for this video Peter. Have walked the coastal path on a few occasions and have photographed the lighthouse from a few different angles. My wife had come across the lighthouse grave story and insisted we make a visit to the cemetery. Nice one again Sir!
Great video. The lighthouse keeper's memorial is impressive. Looking on Google it is good to see that his home survives and has a bay window resembling a lighthouse lantern, perhaps unintentionally. The sign is funny. I remember visiting graveyard in Neston , Wirral, which had a sign stating 'Do not deposit dead flowers here!', and of course some wag painted out 'flowers'.
Hi Peter, yet another amazing and interesting video, Thankyou. Could I ask please, what would be the rough lifespan of one of those big 1kw incandescent bulbs when used in occulting mode, as opposed to constant on like the rotating flashing beacon? Far more character than todays LED’s Cheers from Aus. Mike.
Thank you very much. I'm not sure that I can answer that definitively as we had a regime (more or less) to swap the bulbs out at 1000 hours service. So we never actually ran them till destruction on the stations I served at. If any ex Keepers that know differently then please feel free to say so. Cheers and stay safe.
The intro to all these vids has a wonderful calming effect. Umm, would it be too much to ask if you might make a longer clip of just that rotating lens with the birds chirping and the waves breaking? Say, 10 minutes, or an hour, or whatever?
Thank you for that, much appreciated. I did do a longer intro once but got complaints from someone that it was too long! I only have a certain amount of footage, so to achieve what you are asking I would have to do some sort of loop. I will seriously think about it, but can't promise. Thanks again and stay safe.
Thank you for the reply. It's sort of hilarious that someone thought that video was too long. All they had to do was stop watching when they'd had enough of it. Ah well.....
