A Lighthouse Keeper's guided tours, Episode Twenty One. South West Wales

We have now moved on into the offshore portion of South West Wales Lighthouses. This video is on Skokholm Island with its Lighthouse. This is yet another Lighthouse that isn't really open to visitors, and yet, you can stay on the Island with the following who now own the Island and the Lighthouse. So I believe you may get access that way.

Also boat trips can also be had from the following if you don't want to stay, but check to see if they actually land or just do a drive by?

I love that you've published for everyone to enjoy these awesome records of a lost way of life. This island, on the day you filmed it looks delightful.

[@PeterHalil]

Thank you for your kind comments, much appreciated. Cheers and stay safe.

I felt for Ray, I had recently retired after 24 years in the Navy and this woman I was sweet on announced she didn't want me telling 'sea stories' with my old military buddies. Being half my life at the time I knew it would be a problem.

[@PeterHalil]

Thanks for that. I'm sorry to hear that, life loves to throw us curved balls, just as we are feeling on top of the World. Take care Mate.

Hello Peter, let me tell you that I´m new into this "Lighthouse adventure ", I recently started to like and getting interest into lighthouses and the life, stories of the keepers, and I discovered your channel very recently and I´m glad that you record every single Lighthouse you have been, it means a lot! I´m from Portugal which means we also have a lot of Lighthouses on the coast, I´m planning to visit all of them, thank you very much for your dedication, keep going, I learn a lot from you and people like you! Hugs!

[@PeterHalil]

Hello Peter, thanks so much! I truly love your videos! WOW, what an incredibly beautiful lighthouse - the architecture and craftsmanship. Such great stories recounted by the Keepers. I have so much respect for your profession, the sacrifices you made and the danger you faced to save the lives of others! Poor Prince, what a trooper! Much respect also for the dear service animals like Prince we don't get to hear much about! Thanks again, Sir! GOD bless you and your family! ❤ 🙏

[@PeterHalil]

Thank you very much for your kind comments. Yes, Prince has gone into legend in the Lighthouse Service. Where possible, I prefer to put other Keepers voices and stories to my videos. Hope you have a great New year. Stay safe.

I was lucky enough to there about 15 years ago when there were still boat trips, although there were only a few a year back then. Great views of the Smalls from there.

[@PeterHalil]

Yes a really nice Island, I just wish that I could have stayed longer to do the Island justice, but a flying visit for a quick film. Cheers and take care.

[@NapierNimbus]

Wonderful. I remember the first keeper speaking of his bitter regret of having to resign due to his wife, what a high price to pay, very sad indeed.

[@PeterHalil]

Yes poor chap, been there, done that and got the T shirt Ha Ha. Cheers and take care.
