Such a haunting sight Matt, and the music you picked to go with this explore really envokes such sadness of an era that is being lost. It's such a shame that a historic place like this is just being left to be claimed by the environment

[@fredsimmons2793]

It don't get much better than this, a walk by the ocean, fresh salt air,and thwarting seven yankers! I drank it all up over the pond in Battle Creek, Michigan!Top form lads!

[@mrbosh0115]

A few months ago North Somerset Council have bought the Peir and are spending £80,000 on renovating it and bringing it back to its former state and it should be done by 2025,whether they do or not is to be seen ,but it is a shame the Peir has been left to rot ,got some really good memories of playing the penny arcade also My Brothers Band were the last Band to play live there back in the mid 80's ,Cheers for this tho.

[@XploreNorfolk]

Just what I needed tonight, awesome music with some awesome footage. Thank you Matthew :)

[@OLIFAB]

Enjoyed that Matt, thanks for doing what you do.

[@MartinHill6969]

Hello hope your well. Another great vid I see

[@mrmawson2438]

[@willp358]

Now that was a stunning vid. The drone camera work was both mesmerising and haunting at the same time. Thanks Matt..

[@BlytheWorld1972]

Stunning intro on this video lovely editing .

[@kernow..exp.]

Hello greetings from Cornwall

[@megamills150]

Nice footage and explore 👍💯

[@christopherjones874]

Thank you gents for the excellent video. I've been visiting birnbeck pier for many years. Always wondered what the far end looked like nowadays. Now you've answered my question. My mum used to push me down their in my push chair as a baby. Always loved this place.

[@TheUrbexTheory]

Now this.... This is content, lovely music 🎶 lovely video 📹

[@Mr._Magee]

Great view from the pier. Lovely colors and music throughout the video.

[@sueevansProoovviitt]

Nice one! And you escaped, and it's lovely drone footage snd great use of soundtrack!

[@columbo7927]

Interesting Matthew Thank you

[@nathanjones6501]

Great video once again and it looks great during daytime and it was funny hearing the locals having a moan ahaha 👍😊

[@the_fearless_explorer1213]

Awesome I like Weston they call it the brummie beach good video I'd like to go to this place...

[@Betsy387]

Brillant vid we are doing a 24hr challenge on birnbeck in the summer

[@TheSecretVault]

Nice one.. it does get windy.

[@and7barton]

The pier and buildings might collapse, but the rock will always be there.

[@kkrispy2009P]

Great vlog and explore on pier matt and gang

[@Lee-eu6wf]

[@mrmawson2438]

1st class video to watch thank you take care❤ kind regards from me kenneth👈😎👍

[@stanian01]

6 years old when i first walked that pier now in my 60's such a shame its ended up like this

[@roymorse4528]

There was an episode of saving lives at sea on BBC2 where a couple got caught out by the tide on birnbeck Island and had to be saved by the rnli , they were seconds away from drowning very lucky people !

[@margaretparker8781]

Lov the vlogs Margaret

[@markurbex6579]

Nice grate video, and good quality coulers

[@TheSecretVault]

is that French... lol

[@turbosystem]

Sad to see this piece of history just crumbling away. Another great explore from you and Gav with some excellent drone footage. The tides are very high at the moment with a 13.7metre rise and fall yesterday recorded just up stream at Avonmouth. Stay safe, keep exploring.

[@mrmawson2438]

It's quite a long walk

[@sugarsundae3400]

Your brave walking across that dodgy pier it looked like it could snap at any moment. Great explore through really enjoyed it.

[@brendandoyle8304]

Great drone shots man wish I could fly as good as that 😂

[@BlytheWorld1972]

great video enjoyed it the place would have been lovely in its hay day!

[@DavidMantle139]

When the thieves realised the police were waiting for them they threw the clock in the sea. The tides are savage round weston (smack town), they catch many people out, i like brean down fort not masses there some good history to the place.

[@cposky4394]

Looking at the man who owns it and what was a hotel behind it that mysteriously burnt then he had plans for apartments !!I don't think it will be restored anytime soon

[@Lucas-os4vx]

He sold the pier to the council them and RNLI lifeboats are gonna referb it

[@cposky4394]

@@Lucas-os4vx Thanks for that will be nice to see something done with it even as a kid remember thinking why ..lol

[@nathan83699]

Nice one mate, shame you couldn't get into the boat house

[@denisejones6736]

So sad it should be bought back to the way it was 😪it would bring the tourists

[@gamblinsw]

There's a video on KZbin called One Foot in the Past from 1996 and it shows the buildings in a far better state, complete with roofs and organ! Worth a look.

[@bjorngve]

Know what they´re saying, we wan´t get any younger. The bridge seems like it had it, a bit more since last time. House is what they say in the ads, an opportunity for the handy man. Open and specie design.

[@Mustlord_Guitar_Ambient]

"We've got some gumbumpers."

[@jeremy5363]

So many people these days think they have a right to tell you what to do…sad. I’m glad you press on Matt!

[@elliotease4390]

Matt, you pronounced as well as spelt the word “people” wrong, what you was looking for was “nosey bastards”

[@dcmexplores]

Great video as always… by the way what happened to the Portsmouth Spinnark Tower video?

[@TheSecretVault]

Back up now... had a terrible time editing it... kept crashing

[@dcmexplores]

@@TheSecretVault cheers bud

[@Shooting_With_A_Lens]

It's amazing that the lifeboat station hasn't been touched still immaculate on the outside

[@whuds1159]

I thought Birnbeck Pier was bought out under a CPO last year and its still being left derelict unbeleivable and so sad too see a piece of history left abandoned

[@connormeechan5784]

A school Friend of mine was 1 of the unfortunate ones with the Barry tide a few years ago

[@Russpng]

It was on the news that work will begin in a few weeks time. We shall see if it does.

[@cposky4394]

Always wondered what it was like on there like others I guess looked from the other pier across thinking what a waste shame for it to be left like that

[@mrmawson2438]

👍

[@theculturedthug6609]

People are doing stuff call the police blah blah blah....

[@mattjackson204]

Anyone got any idea if they will ever fix this place up? I remember seeing it exactly like this as a kid 30 years ago. Shame to see it waste like this, but guess most would rather go abroad

[@Lucas-os4vx]

Found an article saying North Somerset Council and the RNLI have formally agreed to work together to renovate Birnbeck Pier, bringing vital lifesaving work back onto the island and allowing the public access to the Victorian pier once again. November 2021

[@sugarsundae3400]

Those people probably thought you were mad walking across that rickety old pier. I've only ever seen drone footage not anyone actually walking across it 😳

[@georgesmith8113]

👍👊😎

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

👍👍🖖🖖

[@danielprice668]

Me and a few friends walked out there once for a explore and smoke we beat the tide it is possible i know from past experience lol

[@markharris4956]

Steep Holm Island what’s that looks interesting ?

[@alancuthbert2498]

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

[@markh3405]

nice one matt im from weston g8 vid some people nead to mind there own fucking business live and let live!!!

[@exploringmetaldetecting5989]

only about 5m away from me .worle ha .

[@and7barton]

Seems like when a bloke loses his mojo, he becomes a miserable police complainer. My knees are getting knackered, but I'd join you in a flash.

[@mrmawson2438]

😆

[@curlywood]

They just letting it rott I thought some one bought this and was going to do it up Its a shame to see this dieing cammon peops, nice explore Matty

[@mrmawson2438]

🤣

[@HonchHeado]

That honestly doesn't look that dangerous I believe ive seen you walk on worse.

[@Moonrakerd]

not the best island for zombie apocalypse, zombies will get to you during the low tide :D

[@eily_b]

But pleeeeease stop snuffing when you have a microphone near your head.... it's annyoing 😐
