Chesil Beach Pebble Survey Part 1 - Spending the Whole Day Looking at Gravel

[@AtomicShrimp]

*Afterthoughts & Addenda* *Beyond Survey Point 33* - I revisited Chesil beach to take a look at the stones between the last survey point and the very end of the beach - it's detailed in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqqbmGeMrMSJmKc coal fragments* at 10:16 - this isn't relevant to the 'fisherman's handful' thing and isn't something they would be assessing; these pieces of wood and charcoal probably came from a beach fire lit by someone night fishing, quite recently, at the place where our sample waypoint happened to land. Not in any way pertinent to a legend dating back hundreds of years.

[@foragingadventures]

This is one of the atomic shrimpiest videos you've ever made and I'm here to watch it all

[@emilyscott6274]

Brought a friend... Man you took that 'bring a spare of everything' to heart.

[@Fairyfink]

I can know no greater happiness than to see Mr Shrimp measuring the size of gravel on a beach. KZbin does not get better than this.

[@Broken_robot1986]

This is peak! I can't wait to visit gravel beach!

[@JuusoAI]

This video might have the ultimate anti-clickbait title. I love it.

[@SilverDragonJay]

this is the kind of pedantic weirdness that I love. Right up there with calculating the unemployment rates of various video game towns. I am very happy about that time-lapse of the stones at the end. Very interesting, thank you.

Ayyyy, a fellow AnyAustin enjoyer!

[@marylynne9104]

I enjoyed every second of this video…and I’ve no idea why. I really don’t care about the size of gravel/pebbles on Chesil Beach. But I’m going to watch Part 2, and I’m sure I’ll be just as transfixed again. There’s just something engaging about a true enthusiast, and Shrimp is an enthusiast about so many things. It’s never dull or boring watching and listening to Mike just doing his thing. Ah, there you see, I answered my own question as to why I enjoyed this video so much.

[@josiahkendall4492]

I would like to thank Mr. Friend for keeping Mr. Shrimp safe.

[@kristenboschma9065]

Not only is it a thing of wonder and joy that Mike embarks on such expeditions with the care and curiosity of a scientist, it is of comfort to find a large tribe of similar-minded people who find it utterly riveting. Thank you one and all.

[@neilgrundy]

The only thing more bonkers than doing this, is me spending an hour watching it.

[@tweezerjam]

Part Two to come 😲

[@charlie125125uk]

Waves do go over the top but the water goes through the middle of it to create those river like effects, fished the beach for 20+ years i am local,i walked it 2nd march 2014 when a cargo ship lost loads of containers off chesil and millions of packets of cigarettes were washed up the length of beach, and bmw motorbikes among other things wish i could share the pictures with you. Great video as always thanks

[@silva7493]

How amazing!!! Did you hear about the fisherman's 'pebble size' tale?

[@theunknown4834]

Man the trash must had been terrible

[@rundmk00]

I remember seeing the photos of those guys pushing the BMW bikes out of the shipping containers, lucky buggers!

[@crankycat3026]

A friend who will join you in such an endeavour is certainly one to treasure. I have been looking forward to this experiment eagerly, and it was worth it. I love pebbles, and seeing so many of them in this video made me strangely happy.

[@fyrgens]

I find videos with incredibly niche, specific and "odd" titles like this the most intriguing, so I simply had to watch :) Discovered this channel a couple of weeks ago and watched through a bunch of videos, I've really enjoyed it! I'm already a massive nature enthusiast but your content has sparked a strong new-found excitement about little things like foraging, and identifying plants and rocks. I really appreciate your content, Mr. Shrimp, and wish you all the best on all your future journeys!

[@SMTRodent]

When I was a child, my imagined futures did not include watching someone pick up gravel, but here we all are. I got myself a (soft) drink to enjoy while I watch.

[@sarahstrong7174]

And you didn't try to make a meal out of things found on the beach?

[@sarahstrong7174]

Seaweed soup with cuttlefish crunches anyone?

[@lyndseybeaumont7301]

If anyone had said to me I’d be watching a guy measuring, counting and listening to pebbles from Chesil Beach on a Friday night, I’d have told them to do one! Yet, here I am , from start to finish, riveted to every word you say. I’ve turned into a geek haven’t I? I used to be cool at one time. Ah well, C’est la vie. Lmao xxx

[@gigi3242]

Thank you Mike's friend! I was thinking as you were walking along, taking your measurements, that it would be cool to find some really old fishermen, and ask them if they had been taught to know the difference in the stones. Also, for two years in college I worked in the mailroom, to this day, some twenty plus years later, I can hold an envelope or package in my hand, and tell you how much it weighs, lol Humans are quite amazing. Oh, the color of the stones changed a lot; the bigger they got, the lighter they were, hmmm. Loved this video, I love Chef Shrimp, Gardener Shrimp, History Shrimp, but best of all Science Shrimp. You get a kind of small excited child aspect to your voice, it's awesome. Thank you for sharing your adventure. Have a lovely weekend.

[@silva7493]

I concur with the envelope and package weight assessment ability. I once had a job where daily we mailed lots of stuff (old style airline tickets and other documents). I really couldn't tell you how much they weighed, but I knew when they were even a hair past the ounce markers and would need more postage. Also, not very long after I started cooking, when following recipes, came a time when I realized it had become pointless to bother with measuring cups. Once a disbelieving friend put my measurements to a test, and there was no easily discernible difference between my amounts and the markings on the measuring cup. Humans truly are amazing. And I also agree wholeheartedly with your statement regarding the wide ranging Shrimp!!! SO well stated.😊

[@vulcanfeline]

it's like the time i was in conversation with my dad and held my thumb and finger an inch apart. my dad, who hadn't done any carpentry work in 20 yrs said, no, that 1 1/8". at 5 feet away, he could see the difference of 1/8", lol wow

The large, yellow object is a cautionary buoy used to mark a hazard or some notable feature of the waterway such as an underwater structure, pipeline, strong currents, or hidden hazards that make passage unsafe.

[@SlartiMarvinbartfast]

Would it have some kind of identification markings on it? If so I would have written them down and reported it to the relevant authority in case they wanted to rescue it. 🙂

[@mountaincat123]

Chapeau, that’s a tough long walk on gravel, it took me 3hrs to cycle to Portland from Bridport on the bridleway and lanes on the north side of Chesil Beach this week to look at the quarries from one of your other videos. Thanks for a whole hour of gravel 😹

[@AtomicShrimp]

Thank you! BTW got your message about mushrooms - appreciate the tip!

[@mountaincat123]

@@AtomicShrimp Great, happy to help find the elusive Dorset wild mushrooms 😉

[@countesscable]

I know EXACTLY what you mean by desolate remoteness. I made that walk back in the 90’s, and apart from the gruelling nature of walking in shingle, I felt oddly uneasy. Suddenly I had a terrifying feeling of claustrophobic panic. I felt so ‘cut off’ and isolated. Really weird.

[@C0zm0deus]

Been watching your videos for a couple of years now and I just have to say that these are so comforting. Even something that may seem 'unimportant' to some like surveying on a beach, is oddly relaxing. Thanks a lot for sharing these little projects with us. Much love for you, Jenny, and Eva

[@seasmacfarlane6418]

Mr Shrimp... you are, I honestly think, the only person who can make gravel interesting for a whole hour! Thank you so much😊

I've got a Digital Caliper that can pretend to be a Bluetooth keyboard and can log measurements automatically. It is very useful for logging large amounts of data.

[@silva7493]

I love all rocks. I'm 68, and I have rocks of all sized, textures, and colors both inside and out, from all over California, and a few other places. I know you aren't supposed to take rocks home with you, but I didn't always know it. I get pretty excited when Atomic Shrimp posts videos with rocks (and stones) in them. I think pebbly beaches are so curious! The Pacific ocean delivers mostly very fine particles of sand to us.

[@jc441-i3q]

Isn't there a beach in Hawaii where people take rocks when they're not supposed to and there's supposedly a curse? Apparently people send them back through the mail because they believe it's brought them bad luck. I don't really believe in that though.

[@gabrielfaure9091]

One hour of shrimp and rocks. Hell yeah.

This was so enjoyable. I’m so glad I saved it for a Friday night. Thank you for taking us with you. I can’t walk on beaches now and it was lovely to get out and about with you.

[@Falaxuper]

The surprisingly wholesome and 'expeditioney' feeling of this video almost made me want to perform a sand survey in my native Gdynia, Poland, Central Europe, pre-equipped with kabanosy and nuts from Lidl, despite there being no specific legend associated with sand-aided positioning connected to the beach here :)

Probably overkill, but there's no way to just pop to a shop halfway along the beach

Absolutely terrific video, very much looking forward to part 2

[@rebeccawooding7074]

I loved Chesil Beach when I visited! It was actually very comfortable laying on it, the stones are small enough not to poke you but it also moves enough to not be compact and hard like sand can be

This would be an ideal day for me.

[@bettinalykke5151]

I love this unapologic honest nerdism you have. Keep up the strong work

[@alanwakefield2453]

Many years ago I kayaked around Portland Bill exiting on Chesil Beach. One of the most difficult things I have done, just climbing out of the kayak and then hauling it up the Portland end of the beach with the surf breaking, I'm not sure how fishermen with boats would have coped. Another interesting kayaking thing was swan herding in the Fleet for Abbotsbury Swannery so that the new signets could be weighed and ringed. Kayakers from local clubs lined up across the Fleet and had a gentle paddle down corralling the swans along.

[@AtomicShrimp]

Yeah, the roundness of the pebbles makes it especially hard to ascend the slopes on the beach (it's also part of what makes the surf zone dangerous even with only moderate waves - it's like trying to remain upright standing on wet ball bearings.

[@o0BUBBLY0o]

Amazing to see the lengths people will go to, to find answers... It's a certain thing for certain people. I'm guilty of this, just not about pebbles. Really enjoy how your mind works 👍🏻 Looking forward to seeing the results!

[@mattwuk]

Hairy arsed biker and my Friday night starts with a gravel survey 🤘

[@Fluttermoth]

Every Friday, I look forward to a new AS video and, every Friday, I hope it's a long one (not that I don't enjoy the shorter vids, I do, I enjoy all your content, but I prefer longer, more in-depth videos to shorter ones), I was in ecstasies seeing such a long video, especially of such a mundane but strangely fascinating subject! Hope we don't have to wait too long for Part 2, I'm so interested to see the data! Edit, forgot to say, huge thanks to Shrimpy's nameless friend for helping make this happen! Kudos to you, our anonymous hero XD

[@SlartiMarvinbartfast]

That was fascinating, thanks Mike (and friend!).

That’s an oyster farm long wooden trays, they are farming them in bags in Portland harbour as well( they are farming sea weed as well!) my friend owns the farms very interesting

[@kgsonly]

you honestly never know what you're going to get with an atomic shrimp video and I am here for it.

[@DavidMFChapman]

Well done! The legend I heard was that the fishermen could tell where they were along the beach in the fog by the SOUND of the surf breaking on the pebble beach. I did a similar crude survey myself years ago but I only went to a few locations accessible by car.

[@MsPossums]

That sounds interesting. Maybe Mike would do a sound experiment sometime ...

[@AtomicShrimp]

That's interesting and it does make sense. We did capture a bit of the underfoot sound in this video, which will be related in some way to the surf sound. Off the top of my head, I think it's true that the surf sound at Abbotsbury (small stones) is a sort of hissing noise and at Portland (large stones), there is a more distinct clatter or rattle. Might be worth investigating...

[@sarahshelton396]

@@AtomicShrimp I thought as I watched/listened that your audio of the different pebble sizes underfoot would end up in the analysis for the changing pitch or frequency etc. and could thus render another graph or table - or even just an audio version of the images in timelapse - played like a tonal scale form one end of the beach to the other, maybe with your customary video notations showing the numbers of sample spots you're in between, to break up the visual sameness...? Oh I hope you see this even though it's been a week! I realize you might already have put it all to bed. Just a suggestion!

[@AtomicShrimp]

@@sarahshelton396 I think we might need to leave that promising line of inquiry to someone else - it really deserves to be investigated by someone with the proper equipment to capture high quality recordings and the skills to do the audio analysis.

@@AtomicShrimp Fair Enough :) I still enjoyed watching it anyway!

[@ianmurphy9955]

I never thought I'd be interested one bit in the size of rocks, pebbles or stones, however I'm sure I will be by the end of this video. Mike is so knowledgeable about so many things I've learnt much from watching Atomic Shrimp videos since 2020. In relation to the pillboxes, apparently there exists a study group in Abbotsbury with an interest in the history of beach defenses

[@prime1971]

I've walked a hundred or so yards at abbotsbury and was knackered so hats off for walking the whole bloody way !!!

[@laurensplompen]

re: that final remark about walking to the point of exhaustion without realizing, I've been in such a situation and it's scary. I didn't feel hungry or thirsty but my mind was sluggish so I stopped to eat a bite. Took me 10 minutes to get food out of my backpack due to loss of dexterity and mental acuity. I had to slap myself in the face to get some stress hormones going.

[@AtomicShrimp]

Yeah, I think it's one of those things that can just creep up on you and rob you of the mental faculty to realise that something is wrong. There have been a couple of notable cases in the news this year of hikers who died after presumably just trudging on to the point of exhaustion and dehydration.

Thanks Mike, as usual, a great video. On a side note, a busload of us came to Chesil Beach from Camborne in Cornwall on a fishing trip during the winter, when the cod run. I was casting 6 oz weights with a 13 foot beach caster rod using 30lb breaking strain line with a 50lb leader line and an Abu 7000 multiplier reel. The wind was coming off the Channel and my weight seemed to hang in the air, such was the strength of the wind. I did manage to catch a few mackerel but it was a thoroughly miserable day.

[@TheRowdy293]

This was a great watch! A video idea comes to mind... perhaps condense everything related to preparing for the hike in a shorter video, including lessons learned. As a "So you want to hike Chesil Beach" sort of prep video.

[@slimpixie2404]

Thank for the video of Chesil! It really is quite a stunning natural feature that we are gifted with down here. The shingle banks are very steep in places and having fished there (many many years ago) and the weather turning for the worst, it really was a struggle just getting back up the bank from close to the water's edge. It doesn't take much imagination to see how it can go very wrong. If anyone visits this area, do go up on Portland Bill and take a look back down the coast from the viewpoint, it really is quite awe inspiring.

[@sean..L]

I've seen a few beaches like this on the west coast of Newfoundland, probably not the same length but still very long banks of rounded rocks.

[@markgodden4544]

I did something very similar on Chesil Beach for my degree, about 20 years ago.

[@mightyn8]

I had to pause to leave this question/idea before I forget it: if we consider the legend of the fishermen to be true, could it be that they had a particular way of looking at this "handful" of stones they picked up? Perhaps they would look at what the average stones were like, as well as the biggest ones, and from some such combination of analysis come to the conclusion of how far along the beach they were. Certainly, I was thinking about this as I was watching the gravel change while you were getting farther along. I figured that if I was a fisherman and: 1) had a good knowledge of Chesil Beach and how the gravel looked like there (at least in a few major checkpoints of the beach, and with an understanding that there was such a gradient), and 2) I really really wanted to try to find out where I am, then I would most likely employ this kind of technique. I'd look around myself (if I was able to see with the naked eye in the night), then I'd pick up one or two handfuls and look at the average and biggest stones. I think I would discard the smallest stones because those will always exist on every single part of the beach, it's part of how beaches work as the water erodes away at everything. I would focus on the "average" ones (aka the ones that are most plentiful) as well as see how many bigger-than-average ones there are. Obviously, I'm not yet sure how you analyzed the data later on as I paused the video to get out this idea, but it's just my interpretation of how a fisherman might have done this (if indeed this ever happened). Edit: oh gosh, just after I posted this comment and resumed the video, I got to the point in the video where you got that anomaly with the small rocks! That's exactly the reason why I thought I would discard the tiniest rocks (as long as they weren't part of the "average" size).

[@moel135]

I had a thought near the end of the video where you were showing walking footage of the beach, how cool it would be to have drone footage of the trek straight from one end of the beach to the other, before thinking for a moment how incredibly difficult it might be to do just that because of the length or the beach. Then to consider how cool this video was on its own. The observations and data followup is gonna be awesome. Great video
