00:54 That appears to be Heidelberg Materials Cement depot Avonmouth dock. It’s good that you still took the trip, it worked out fine, the low dark clouds help give the video and location atmosphere as we move into Autumn.
The bridge is spectacular, and the river looks huge! Another very interesting video. I hope you managed to keep your trainers nice and clean! Maybe it would be worth investing in some boots for you explorations, especially with the long winter ahead of us??
Another great video, Arthur…well done. Have you watched Ludwig on BBC…set in Cambridge. How about a Ludwig locations video ? Not sure if Cambridge is near you….but maybe worth thinking about. 👍
The "rusty steel" (which is what it is) is sheet piling, driven in by a tower piledriver to stabilise the riverbank. It goes between 3 - 6 metres into the ground. The bottom 3 - 4 m are foundation, the top 1 - 2 m are retaining wall, stopping the riverbank from slumping into the Severn and thus being gradually washed away. The big rocks in front of the sheet piles disperse the water's energy, further reducing its tendency to wash the bank away.
Radioactive water: I lived in Morecambe for a while, I was told that the warm water from the Heysham nuclear power station acted like a hot water bottle and kept the town warmer than it would otherwise be.
It's always good to do something different and go for a walk off the beaten track, so to speak! Not a good idea to walk over those rocks though unless you have the right footwear 😱. The bridge looks awesome. I've never been across it. I love Devon, so any videos from there would always be welcome! I notice you often correct yourself or clarify things you've said, which is no bad thing of course! Yes, I'll be sure to supply you with some more coffee when I can. Look after yourself when you're out and about! ~ Steve

Thanks for the info!
The rusty steel work going into the ground is called pile-ings.
The old Severn bridge has a wonky upright, so they built the new one.
Thanks for the info!
Brilliant video and editing! Thanks for sharing!
No problem. Thanks for the support!

Thats a good idea. I’ll have to make some more money! The bridge is very nice. If you haven’t already, I recommend a drive over it!

Thanks for the support! The interesting thing about my by me a coffee is that I never actually spend it on coffee! I hope you enjoyed the video.
@@urban-UK Lol. No problem! I know train tickets cost a lot.
@@PlanetaryCitizen Thanks!
It Would have been interesting to walk under the M4, if you check ordnance survey and aerial views I think there are permitted footpaths and a beach.
Yeah, it started to feel quite dodgy but I’d love to include more urban exploration in my videos!
