We Went Out So You Didn't Have To...A Close Look At Storm Gerrit From Coastal Montrose, Scotland

As Storm Gerrit rolled through, what did we do? We went for a walk of course! :) And it was a good opportunity to document what it was like out there, down by the North Sea. Just as well we did, as there wasn't anyone else taking in the fresh sea air! Join Alicja and Steve in Montrose...

FAQs:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I was born in Glasgow but have lived in Carnoustie, Dalgety Bay, Stonehaven, Edinburgh, Montrose, and further afield (Salamanca, Spain & Devonport, New Zealand)
WHEN DO YOU UPLOAD?
Saturdays at 10am Scottish time. Occasionally a bonus midweek video will pop up.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I film with a GoPro11 and my iPhone12. I edit on iMovie and use epidemicsound.com for music. I also use canva.com for thumbnails etc.
WHY DON'T YOU SPEND LONGER AT DESTINATIONS?
The usual suspects I'm afraid - time and money! Hotels especially these days make my eyes water like a true Scotsman.
WHERE'S ALICJA?
Alicja will feature as often as possible, but I'm afraid she has a proper job so it can take weeks for our schedules to match up.
DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR OWN TRAVEL?
Yes I do. I've only ever accepted a complementary ticket as compensation for a previous problem. All my opinions are frank and honest reflections of travel as I experience it.
WHY THE ADS?
It's my income, I can't do this for free.
CAN I CONTACT YOU?
I used to list my email address but felt bad not having the capacity to respond to everything so took it down (and I got a LOT of spam so missed many genuine messages along the way).
HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE CHANNEL?
Watching my videos is of course support enough, but if you'd like to support further, I'll pop links below for Paypal and Patreon. All kind donations are super-appreciated and will go 100% towards future filming trips.
DO YOU ACCEPT SPONSORSHIPS?
I don't like to upset the flow of my videos, so I don't even include mid-roll ads anymore (at significant loss of income to myself), so I prefer not to include sponsorships either. I'm open to a small slide at the start/end of each video, but I don't want to get into talking about products, it's something I don't like as a viewer myself (especially as a viewer who pays for KZbin Premium). So it's probably a polite no, although all of this goes out the window if you offer me something which can give me the chance to make a video for my audience that would otherwise be impossible.

Massive kudos to the council guy scooping up the litter and to the refuse collectors.

Agreed, the council folks doing that they can there in crazy conditions. Hope they got warm and dry after!

The Scottish version of ''Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun."' Thanks Steve and Alicja for really terrific video. As a black and white still photographer it was very inspiring. I have watched it several times now and had to put a coat on although it has been in the high 80 degrees here in Sydney. Cheers PS Love the two of swimming at the same spot.

Storm Gerrit is named after Gerrit Hiemstra, a Dutch meteorologist who worked for the Dutch Public Broadcastingservice. Earlier this year he left after 24 years of service. They named the storm in his honour.

I love days by the sea in stormy weather,it’s intriguing to watch . It’s very windy and rainy here in London but not to the extreme in Montrose .!

[@jennywalsh479]

First of all congratulations on receiving your silver plaque for having one hundred thousand viewers which was fantastic for you both. That storm is definitely horrible and you asked your viewers what our weather was like. In Alice Springs today I played golf and temps were 39c for the last 4 holes so bit different your weather.

[@nonamerooster5413]

Western Sydney we get about that temperature sometimes. I can’t imagine how hot and dry it must be in Alice Springs

[@norsegolf76]

The storm was done when I got up the morning after here on the southwestern coast of Norway. Now I get to see what I missed. 😁 Great job braving the elements for us, guys! You're both true Scots. 🤠😁

[@DCL26]

Thank you both for bringing that turbulent sea, cold and fierce winds to your viewers. I very much appreciate your willingness and enthusiasm. Now for the walk back. Unfortunately, nothing is Open in order to take some cover and a cup of hot tea. Good thing, you're not too far away from home! Good Luck!

[@davetingey1766]

As the Big Yin would say, there's no such thing as bad weather. There's only the wrong clothes. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you both.

[@eekee6034]

Trust me, for weather like this, the only right clothes are a space suit, but it needs to have a faceplate wiper. ;)

[@t.m.warren2124]

The sacrifices you and Alicja make for us to provide great content! It’s a little moist in Montrose today. I live in the US in Toledo Ohio. It’s been unseasonably warm this month. It is presently 9 degrees Celsius or 48 degrees Fahrenheit. Stay safe you two.

[@tracyalley6126]

You guys are hilarious but also a little crazy going out in that weather. Thoroughly entertaining viewing, we love you both, please keep making content. Thanks from Wiltshire, England x

Another great video Steve, living the dream and reality in that storm! Credit to the council workers, still collecting the garbage and ensuring the drains were not blocked, on such a day. I would not think that salt water hitting your camera and phones would do them my good. Take care, both of you!

[@susanvaughan4210]

Wow! Thanks so much for this. The sea spray and churning waves were epic. Here in the Colorado Rockies it is a cold, sunny day. We might get up to freezing (32F) today. The peaks are snow covered and we still have some patchy snow on the ground. It's beautiful, but doesn't get more land locked than this. So it is wonderful to have a dose of the North Sea when she's riled up.

[@alexlyons5856]

True legends nice walk out

[@aiden3170]

Just as wild up here in Orkney today, we had winds gusting up to 74mph, Some may call me insane but I was out this morning at 10 o'clock to get some shots of the NorthLink ferry Hamnavoe coming in through the Hoy sound (a particularly fierce stretch of water) with that headwind from the shore, needless to say she was pitching an' rolling just a peedie bit, what a way to welcome back the crew from their Christmas holidays! Oh and as for Golf scores today, well... let's just say triple digits😅

[@jonathanfinan722]

It's been a bit saucy around here in North Yorkshire. Yesterday we had an insane if rather brief hail storm that was threatening to put the windows in. Naturally I went out in it for the exhilaration, similarly with then mental wind today. It nearly blew what's left of my hair off. Very invigorating.

[@terranova837]

I arrived in Scotland in storm Pia last Thursday for Christmas week home. The Plane had to abort first landing at Glasgow Airport. Silence as we attempted second landing and then success and relief. I left today in storm Gerrit. Rain, wind and bitterly cold, but a little better than arrival. Pretty much rained the whole time I was there. Still enjoyed my time home.

[@peterbrady6772]

Steve and Alijca, thank you both for braving the elements to bring us this fantastic video....Similar conditions here in Ramsey on the north east coast of the Isle of Man but I wimped out and have stayed indoors for most of the day just managing a quick walk with the dogs when the rain had stopped for a ferw minutes.

[@colin.d]

That was quite entertaining, hee hee!

[@xlandros]

That looked like great fun….watching it from my cozy couch! Thanks for braving the weather, and taking us on this little journey. Kudos to the binmen for working in all weather. Had a boring green and very mild Christmas here, in far Northern NY state. Last year we were buried in 5 feet of snow over two days during Christmas….loved it!

These bin men in Montrose are pretty tough. So are you two for going out in that, though it was very entertaining. Thanks

[@sjedouglas]

You've been posting so much recently so thank you as your videos are always worth a watch. It definitely wasn't fun driving to work in that this morning, mixing the rain, wind and floods with darkness was an interesting experience. There's so many good walks in and around Montrose as I'm sure you already know, although perhaps best saved for a nicer day.

Ah. My hometown! We used to play on the ‘tarrie’ which is now grassed over. Left when I was 19. Still go home occasionally. Never seen a storm as bad as that though! Summer holidays were spent mostly at the beach which looked a lot different before erosion took hold. Stay safe guys!

[@michaelpickford4294]

You nearly got a call! I had to drop my son back to Dundee after being home at Christmas. Journey down was iffy and sketchy as hell on the way back to Aberdeen as A90 closed, so went through Friokheim and Montrose. Was thinking “if this gets any worse who do I know in Montrose……?”🤔 Thankfully I made it!

[@PJ-fd6is]

Here in BC, Canada it is cold, 2F, but not stormy, windy or wet. No snow either. Makes me remember growing up in Scotland and why we moved away. Enjoy yourselves.

Such an enthralling, exciting video. On the last storm you were in Germany, so watched a local video of Montrose, but so glad you went out in it, and brought the dynamics of the wind and rain for us all. Much appreciated, and I'm sure you were glad to be back home after that. 😊

Thanks Steve and Alicja you nailed it yet again.... 😅😅😅

It actually made me shiver watching you two water babies out in the storms of Montrose. I'll need a warming toddy Brrrr

[@wallydug2256]

You need a hard hat on standing where the waves come over, I was a relief signalman at Dumbarton and sometimes covered Craigendoran box and when there was a storm all sorts would be brought over the sea wall, like tree trunks, rocks and sometimes even fish, so it's not just the water coming over.

[@barbp8736]

Oh lawdy, you two are brave/crazy going into that freezing water. 😅. Thank you for taking us along. Brrrrr. 🌨️ Edit: as someone who has grown up in Florida (hurricanes), I have to say be careful in weather like that because of flying projectiles . You two are too precious to get hurt. ❤ ❤. (mom-mode off)

[@buzzukfiftythree]

I think crazy wins the day as far as I’m concerned. Going so close to the water during a storm like that is foolhardy. It only takes one freak wave.

[@johnallan4826]

Just a breeze son, just a breeze, with a wee nip in the air, impressive and safe powerful North Sea views, having you fish and chips lol and then that wave came over, I recommend two viewings of the summer montrose walk to warm up. Thanks for the bonus Steve and alicja

[@tomcarr1358]

Thank goodness for Norwegian granite boulders. Where would Montrose and East Anglia be without them.Most impressed by the turnout by the sanitary dept. Yesterday in Norwich it was sunny also . The wind built during the day ( gusts up to 34mph only) but not before the 4 local inland clubs with winter sailing programs got some good sailing. Great entertainment by you for couch potatoes .Thanks.

It never ceases to amaze me how much more terrifying these storms have gotten since some bright spark decided to start giving them all names. We used to just say it was going to be stormy, nowadays each of our many storms is almost a national disaster.

[@Bessie66]

Totally agree- we’ll be at the end of the alphabet before new year 😂

The names draw attention to the storm and try to alert people to the dangers. The November storms killed a few people so why wouldn't we try to prevent that ?. If only everyone was as brave as you.

We have to feed the Global Warming --- nay, HEATING beast. Everything is labeled and a superlative.

[@pertwee9376]

@@auldfouter8661 Storms have always killed people, that is just a fact of life unfortunately. But names are now given to storms so that they will seem even more scary to people. It is all about pushing the climate change agenda. Which is basically a huge hoax to terrify people into a more and more controlled state. No doubt you will think that i am just an idiot conspiracy theorist spouting nonsense, and I would have said the same before I woke up to what is happening in the world about three years ago. Millions have woken up in the last few years and many millions more will in the near future because what is being done is becoming ever more obvious.
