What beach or area? Please
@BarbaraIngramTravel 2 сағат бұрын
That kind of information is generally not shared in the sea glass world, unless it's a well-known area, like Seaham Beach. If you'd like to go, it needs to be on a guided visit by my friend Jeni. The cliff you need to scale is high, dangerous and very difficult to find. If you're interested in going, you can DM me on Instagram for her contact information. @indigoseaglassfinds.

Thank you so much for posting this video! My family and I just went there and found SO MUCH seaglass! I think the three of us each got about 40+ pieces in an hour and we could have taken more. We went at low tide and looked in the sand right where the waves were coming in and the pieces were big and plentiful. One of our best trips ever.

If you walk along the pathway at the top of Blast Beach there are steps down onto the beach, avoiding that bank you went down, it scares me everytime we go there but since discovering the steps it's so much easier now and a lovely walk along the cliffs👍

I'm actually going to be taking a cruise ship to this island in 2 weeks. I was wondering would you say that the beaches there are safe to leave your bag and shoes on the beach while you get in the water?
@BarbaraIngramTravel 3 ай бұрын
I wouldn't leave my belongings unattended on any beach. But when we cruise, we usually ask the passengers sitting next to us on the beach to watch our things. However, I always take my key card and money with me into the water.

The Blast Beach is where they filmed Return to the planet of the apes and its part of Hawthorn beach . Back when the filming took place the beach was still suffering from years of industrialisation and the ground weeped dangerous yet beautiful chemicals of blue and yellow . On the beach there is still a WW2 Pill Box that was part of the North Sea defence along the coastline to protect the docks of Seaham and Sunderland from a potential German invasion.

I was hoping Easington wouldn't be discovered for the sea glass. It's the only TRUE place for Seaham glass ! Why ? Because long shore drift pulled the glass waste from Seaham and deposits it on Easington. All those people picking Seaham glass are actually picking Wearmouth glass which could date back to the 7th century
@spikeneil 3 ай бұрын
Ah, the "goat path". As a kid there would be a dozen of us ambling down there with no thought for safety in the summer just to plod in the polluted sea (from the pit waste that was tipped all along the coast up to the 1980's). It was so bad you couldn't even see your toes when you were only ankle deep !! These days I still go down that path (in my 50's now) but with respectful caution. In the winter it's dangerous mud, in the summer it's dangerous loose soil/gravel and it's easy to slip but treat it with respect and it's the fastest way down / up It was always Boaty's bay for us kids or boatmans bay for older ones. Hawthorn hive was "smugglers cove" as legend had it there was a tunnel up to the top of the banks for smuggling

Never approach the bay from the top of the cliff. The land is very unstable and metres of cliff can drop at any time. This video clearly demonstrates the danger the women were in. Locals would never attempt such stupidity. To access the bay walk along the beach from the north as the tide is going out. Get the tides wrong and you will be stranded. This is a beautiful bay but please don't underestimate the dangers of access.
@BarbaraIngramTravel 5 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment, but it was two experienced locals who showed us where to go (and we saw a third use the goat path while we were there), plus it was written up in Beachcombing Magazine. So apparently we're not the only stupid ones. Plus we made it clear in our video that nobody should attempt this (we will never do it again) and that the shore path is much safer as long as you hit the tides right.

The Schiphol location has a habit of overbooking and then trying to suggest it is your fault. They also put us in a room with a toilet that did not flush. As the hotel was full we were told our only option was to accept the situation. When I pushed back on this being the only option (for example finding us a room elsewhere) I was told that I would be asked to leave and banned. Compared with other CM locations this is an unpleasant and stressful property.

@@mystoriumX why are you being an apologist for them? If a hotel is shorthanded its fine for them to offer you a room with a broken toilet or tell people who have reservations that they are overbooked? I had used their Bowery location several times and posted good reviews about it - other than their signature bar being privately booked every evening so it was practically impossible to use.

Interesting. I've wondered a few times whether there was (still) a working path down to the beach from the level crossing (White Steps). I looked at it today, though I suspect it was the slightly more northerly entrance that I looked at. I just thought it looked too risky, unlike the path down the cliff from a level crossing just north of Hawthorn Dene which I climbed up today, and down on an earlier occasion. I just came upon your video when looking for information as to whether/when it is thought the railway is/will be under threat from coastal erosion. Haven't found any reference so far. This railway is one of the few alternatives to the ultra busy East Coast Main line (e.g. if there is a problem with it, or to send freight trains along). There is a campaign for the reopening of the mothballed (but, unfortunately track removed) Leamside Line from Ferryhill to Washington (Wearside) and on to Pelaw (South Tyneside), and I wondered whether if coastal erosion was a threat to the Durham Coast railway line this might create greater urgency for reopening the Leamside Line.

Anything that looks black without shining a light through it, is considered "black glass." It was just traditionally made with very dark olive/amber colors. But later they made dark glass using all different colors. In the sea glass world, it's all considered black glass of you can't tell the color just by looking at it. The romantic term 'Pirate Glass' has recently started circulating when referring to black glass. Even though it has nothing to do with pirates.

We did meet Andy Iceton, though, and thoroughly enjoyed chatting with him and learning more about the local area. I've been going for about 6 years now, but finally decided to make a video since we never could find any reference info for the area south of Seaham. And the piece I called Dragon Glass (instead of opalescent) was because it had green stripes throughout (hard to see in the picture), so I took the liberty of categorizing it as something a little more special than the regular opalescent. 😉 I do appreciate your knowledge and comments, and thanks for watching!
