Vintage East Coast Video

Take a trip back in time and see if there's much changed in the Wash sailing region, I think the Fosdyke pub's closed now

Thanks for posting that wonderful film. I really enjoyed that.

The pub was still going strong last month, when I was last there.

Excellent news there Dom, haven't made it to those parts for a few years now

What a great watch, thanks for posting.

Brilliant! thanks not watched all of it yet. I can confirm the sandbanks still dry out right in the middle of the wash, I have used them to paint an old fishing boat,very eerie dried out miles from land, in fact the Wash in general is somehow spooky.
That punt gun is mental. Looking forward to the rest!

From memory of only a few years back, I quite like the Wash, but after running aground as the tide went out once, then watching an incoming storm whilst waiting for the tide wasn't much fun. Spooky is definately what it felt like, but I loved it really

Another one found, vintage East Anglia from the 1930's Norfolk and Suffolk, possibly even Essex but my geography isn't that good
