A detailed cliff erosion study 29th December 2024

[@Linda-b2v]

As always, incredible footage but very very shocking to see such dramatic changes in a relatively short time

[@timothystravels8492]

Thank you so much, The changes are astonishing me... I don't remember ever seeing changes this quickly in Hornsea and I've seen these cliffs for 50 years!

Excellent coverage of the power of nature. Happy New Year, Regards, PMh

[@timothystravels8492]

Thank you kindly all the very best 🫡

I watched your last vlog Timothy and was captivated by the amount of shore line that has been destroyed by coastal waters. It saddens me to think of the amount of money the Gov spends on weapons and making wars around the world. It runs into the billions each year. What if the same was spent shoring up our coastline with walls to hold the land together. Can you imagine what a difference it would make. But then that's just a dream I hold close to my self in the hope that one day it will happen. Subscribed and liked.

[@timothystravels8492]

Fantastic to have you onboard....and I agree with what you said...only with the will of the people could changes like that happen. Hopefully one day 🤔 Timothy is the name of my drone btw 😉 Davey 😁

[@transylvanianvistas]

Great drone footage and amazing aerial view. 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing. Subbed and Liked.👍👍👍Greetings and Happy New Year

[@timothystravels8492]

Thank you, delighted to have you onboard Davey ☺️

[@brianwilliams9920]

Way too much here for me to absorb in a single session. Will get back to you with some typical irrelevance next year (which I believe is not so far away). Team TT have been an enormous help over the last few months regarding the study of East Yorkshire coastal erosion. Thank you, and have a good one!

[@timothystravels8492]

Fabulous to have you onboard, Brian. All the best!

May I take this opportunity to thank you both all the videos you have done this year and taking the time and effort of filming them and editing them to a brilliant standard. I am so honoured to have found your channel and watch all your videos who’s has been a pleasure to watch. I wish you both a happy and prosperous new year ❤️and can’t wait to see where your videos takes us all 👏👏👏👍

[@timothystravels8492]

So lovely, thank you buddy ☺️ It really has been a pleasure this last year, I am loving the community vibe that's happening. Very much appreciate your words and am more than excited for whatever is to come. All the very best my friend Davey ☺️

[@Catkinscat]

Sent a comment already but it has been taken down again, but I’m just more determined now to make my comment 😁. Ok … it’s great the way you have captured the destruction and beauty of nature in one piece of footage, it really is a case of beauty and the beast. On the one hand you show the coastal erosion and the ugly scars it causes on the edge of the land, the power and force that nature holds to be able to inflict this, and on the other, the calm lapping ripples of a retreating tide leaving a glistening sheen of water over the sand, illuminated by the most beautiful golden sunrise …. Just another day captured perfectly showing nature doing what she does best 😊 Tell you what though, I won’t be booking the caravan with the sea view any time soon 😬 It’s been a fantastic year for your channel Davey and your videos are appreciated 👍 HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and the Wing Commander, AKA The A Team 🎉🎉🎉🍾🥂

[@timothystravels8492]

Thank you, dear friend. It has been an absolute pleasure building the channel up, and I'm delighted that you have been there from the start. Your encouragement has, on many occasions, been extremely useful in how we progressed. I love filming nature, the same places never look the same...with an arty eye, it's an absolute treat 😍

[@timothystravels8492]

And we wish you the happiest new year!

@@timothystravels8492 some of my favourite pieces of chill out music on this one as well … awesome 😊👍

@Catkinscat ok when i look back in time where the coast line was say 200 years ago this is undeniable substrate as you you well know beach ive heard you mention previous

Excellent content as always Davey, Facts and footage. you have done amazing this year and credit to you both on the amount of content you you give, Its getting harder to leave comments on all your video's but i do get to see them all. Have a great New year and I wish you both all the very best for the New Year. I applaud you👏👏👍

[@timothystravels8492]

So very kind my friend, thank you. We have put the hours in, but every one has been exciting and never a chore. Very excited the way the channel is evolving. It could only happen with the support from people such as yourself and we really do appreciate it. ☺️ All the very best Davey 🥰

[@Caroline-ue7lp]

Crikey bang up to date with this one! Some of those caravans are so close to the edge at the end of the video! 🙈

[@timothystravels8492]

Super close!! I wouldn't sleep too well 😳

Morning! 😁

Good morning 😊👋

[@johndejure9849]

great work as always, really get the trauma the people are going through, when deemed courts can take property on land, nature takes the land the property sits on, people have beach huts at inflated cost, unique prospect to own an area of beach, land does not disapear simply changes form;

[@timothystravels8492]

Thank you, and well said 👏

[@sheilabutton]

Dramatic changes in only a few months. One caravan moved thank goodness. It was close and a big chunk of cliff falling since it was there. I am trying to imagine how they move the caravans so close to the edge. A big crane but must be tricky. Well done on documenting the changes and also showing the beautiful coast and sunrise. At least the sunrise is not too early for you compared to the middle of summer when it’s not worth going to bed.

[@timothystravels8492]

Sheila, my favourite sunrises are the ones where we don't go to bed! 🤣

[@Tony-tt3sc]

I’ve seen other caravan sites moving the caravans just with a landrover or tractors. In this video they were moving one at 8:29

[@coolkitty2075]

I ve never been to that part of Hornsea. Very shocking

[@timothystravels8492]

I have many times but only recently from these angles...drone views are an eye-opener. I don't stand at the bottom of cliffs anymore 😅

[@leewestwell9113]

May I just add...from the year I was 9 I moved to Hornsea I've personally seen the devastation of coastal erosion it's not what I recognise 43 years later climate change in effect

[@leewestwell9113]

These are good videos and content you post yet heartbreaking...i know all this coast

[@timothystravels8492]

Cheers buddy, I've seen it too Lee, something is definitely going down!

Fairly safe to say some of those wont be there this time next year...

[@timothystravels8492]

Definitely 🫣

[@Tony-tt3sc]

They were moving a caravan @8:29 I saw they were building a new plot for caravans, don’t know how much time that will buy them?

[@timothystravels8492]

@@Tony-tt3sc A bit? 🫣😅

[@Tony-tt3sc]

That is a huge chunk of land that has started to slump. Do you know how long it can hold on? Are we talking days weeks or months? I suppose it depends on a lot of different factors. Will see any change on your next update.

[@timothystravels8492]

All I know is...lots changed in 4 months! We'll be checking regularly though 🫡

[@Tony-tt3sc]

Rewatched and paid more attention the slump from October 7th dropped a couple more meters to December 29th. So it takes months but that’s still scarily fast.

[@timothystravels8492]

I know right? 60 days more or less. That's the blink of an eye in the grand scheme of things! 🫣

[@ianshaw6922]

Why aren't there piles and piles of huge boulders on the shore line like I've seen elsewhere to stop the Waves

[@timothystravels8492]

Probably money and politics...I know that the groyne stones in Mappleton were from Norway and cost around two million pounds. 😬🫣

[@fjkelley4774]

Any geologists on this? I was wondering what East Yorkshire was "made of". From a few things I found, I gather much of what we are seeing is a consequence of a glacier. or "cycles of glaciation". If so, this will not stop until some sort of hard rock is encountered. I think. But a geologist would actually have some thoughts and not just some unfocused internet web searches. Really dramatic, and some excellent shots. Also, a Happy New Year to all.

[@Tony-tt3sc]

I deleted my reply because I also try to find out about this topic on the internet and I also don’t really know. Happy new year

[@fjkelley4774]

@@Tony-tt3sc Well, we can't worry too much about that; I mean, *someone* might as well do it. In the searches, I found a "Roman map" of the area, with the communities lost to the sea indicated.

[@timothystravels8492]

Yes you're correct, the clay cliffs are what remains after the glaciation of the last ice age. The glacial deposits, such as till and outwash, are what we're left behind as glaciers advanced and retreated. 🥸🫡

[@brianwilliams9920]

There is at least one geological type, with indeed some thoughts, on this (ahem!). Links are not permitted here but try a search for 'East Yorkshire coastal erosion map' to get you started. You could have a look at 'East Yorkshire coastal creation - glaciations and tills' to address the 'made of' question.

[@ianhawkins4132]

All of the static caravans to the cliff side of the roof need to be moved asap otherwise they're washing up on Zandvoort beach next spring!

[@ianhawkins4132]

Road not roof!

[@LAMF25]

It's like an ongoing soap opera with literal cliff hangers.

[@timothystravels8492]

🤣🤣 Love that!! Very true. 😁

[@veronicaroach3667]

Well assuming those are just holiday homes & moveable I think i would have pulled mine out of there by now if it was in those rows nearest to the edge - why wait to see how long it takes before it reaches yours? A shame but it's been happening for a long enough time now for everybody to realize their homes can't be saved. Propping up the cliff just doesn't work !

[@timothystravels8492]

I'd have moved mine by now too 😳🫣

[@regd.2263]

Yeah it needs iron girders to be driven into the shore spaced out, then concrete slabs in between each girder the back fill with a mixture of large medium and small rocks.

[@regd.2263]

Why don't they shore it up and make it good again. If the council won't do anything to save the land take it out of their control and let the people fund it from donations.

[@timothystravels8492]

That sounds rebellious, I like it 😉

[@morthocko517]

Just think all the money wasted on the proxy war in Ukraine and foreign aid could have been better spent on some sea defenses.

[@timothystravels8492]

Yup, agreed 🙄
