WORLDS BIGGEST TIDE ? Severn ESTUARY | 14 meters in a few hours !!!!

/ @colbysdronestories please subscribe to my drone guy !! He has some amazing footage of lovely locations.
Here we have the worlds biggest tidal river the Severn Estuary.

[@hedgehogwildlifejunction9119]

did a huge comment about it for you its gone. please be careful at the severn its deadly. For all its awesome beauty, the Severn can be a treacherous river as well. It often looks slow moving and calm, but the reality is very different - despite its impressive width, parts of the river are fast-flowing with strong currents, quicksand and shifting shallows.

[@DJEMEDIA]

It’s a very dangerous looking part of the river. When the tide was in … it was so vast and fast. Then on the way out it pulled everything with it

[@hedgehogwildlifejunction9119]

@@DJEMEDIA IT IS why sadly people use it as a choice to end their lives. my friends uncle did so and they found his body about 2 months later in WALES estuary.

[@ellieandrews8315]

Filming amazing! Choice of different music was captivating! Just like a film director, you captured the danger, depth of the tide, the beauty, and the mystery of River Severn Estuary. Enjoyed it very much😊 Thank you😊

[@GillNorfolkUK]

Thanks for your excellent video tonight. 👍 With your filming skills Curtis - "extreme" and also "beautiful" places would be a great idea! Atmospheric music - like b4 for extreme and beautiful gentle music for beautiful places! You have already shown us new places we wouldn't see otherwise. What do you think?

[@ritavarley3659]

Well done to all involved, very dramatic place I enjoyed it very much ❤️👍

[@bostonlincolnshire8745]

​Hide n seek & promoting Sammy doesn't interest me, as it seems childish for the older audience. BUT I will continue to support CM nature walks and this is why I am attracted to CM becos of the Strid, river Servern, and Abandoned buildings. But it's his channel and it's up to him how he goes about it and I know Curtis understands my stance. ATB

[@margopaton3240]

I agree!!

[@DJEMEDIA]

There is reasoning behind it my friend. Today I filmed the first… it was very difficult to find her… I won’t say if I did or not but believe me a lot can be learnt from the video and I will definitely learn how to find quicker

Hauntingly beautiful music that goes so well with the breathtaking scenery. I'm seeing your beautiful country through your videos!

[@chrisbridle4937]

Really interesting video and some top quality footage. More content like this please👍

[@oranges37]

I only found you due to papers reference nicola bulley. When i started watching your videos i was amazed by your videos...content and cinematography...you have some real talent....for what its worth keep drama out of your channel....ignore the negativity....just do you own thing....i will continue to watch your channel...keep up the good work...and thank u for all your time and effort...❤

[@ellieandrews8315]

I agree Curtis you DO have a talent for this😊 Take care

[@OToole2.0]

Hi Curtis, I'm enjoying your videos. Great camera work, good choice of music, it's almost hypnotic. You're giving a good little tour of England to places most tourists wouldn't ever see. I would be afraid to live anywhere near that river if I had children. Like you said getting stuck in the mud. I wonder if there is quicksand.

[@limetree223]

Thank You😊 When you compare the little cars on the bridge and the Bridges "feet" you can see water really raise high.

[@DJEMEDIA]

The feet are massive but from a distance look small.

[@terrikps4079]

Curtis I love what you do , with all the crap you have had to put up with, you are still focused and producing the most amazing videos keep focused, Love you and your family x

[@staceydavies1374]

I've crossed that bridge many of times, I live in South wales. Love the video

[@Oakleaf700]

It's a loooong bridge to cross on foot! One day my son and I walked across it - it seemed to go on for ever. Huge lorries and a biting cold wind. Also very high up. There was a plaque to Construction Workers who had lost their lives making the bridge. {I think it was the old Bridge we crossed} RIP to those men and others lost in the Estuary.

[@Right-Turn-Clyde]

​@Oakleaf700 It would have been the old bridge as the new one has no footpaths.

[@gillgraham3306]

Really atmospheric video ..Great ..looking forward to the next Curtis.👍

[@CastleDude]

Brilliant cinematography- well done 👏

[@BlackForester]

Great video, great soundtrack. As I live in a mountain region in Southern Germany far from the sea I´m fascinated by the tides. It must be beautiful there in good weather. But the rain makes it dramatic.👍

[@HalifaxHercules]

The Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary areas have impressive tides. If you ever visit Southern New Brunswick and Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley region in Canada, its Bay of Fundy basin area are home to the world's highest tides.

[@jacqui7261]

Great footage and the music is always fitting with the scenery !

[@juliejohnson6332]

Hi Curtis what another lovely video did i just watch the drome go over you with shorts on in the ran and cold i hope you dont catch flu keep up with the video babe hope you and sammy ok you two are so cute together even if you two are friends ❤

[@denisemottley22705]

I really enjoyed all the footage. But I will say it again, Be Careful!! If you slipped on one of those rocks you would get horrible cuts. Wonder what it was like working on the build of that bridge. I bet some workers died. Anyway I shall look forward to your next video. 🌊

[@dellakennedy2010]

Hi Curtis I’m relatively new to your chanel , loving all your content and footage, plus the background music always fits the footage perfectly,

[@DJEMEDIA]

Thanks appreciate it !!

[@devonthemaskeddevonaire9471]

brilliant video curtis do not waste this talent every one should have a chance to redeem them selves

[@hedgehogwildlifejunction9119]

VERY dramatic isnt it. so many bodies are never found as they go out to sea. The Estuary discharges into the Bristol Channel, which opens into the Celtic Sea and from there into the Atlantic Ocean. The river wyre goes to the irish sea.

[@sheilacarter7875]

Richey Edwards from Manic Street Preachers disappeared around that area in 1995 he has never been seen again.

[@Oakleaf700]

It's an eerie place. Years ago, new to Bristol from London, I bought a horse and a friend said we could ride to Severn Beach. I was imagining cantering along golden sands... but there was just mud. Stupidly I rode onto it, and the horse immediately began to sink...thankfully he pulled himself and me out - and after that I never set foot {or hoof} on the treacherous mud again.

[@debbielangton7106]

I got stuck in mud on a holiday in ingoldmells I couldn't get out luckily to men saw me by then I was sinking fast u really can't get out 😣😣😣💜💚

[@dellakennedy2010]

Wow you can really see the difference in depth when looking at the lighthouse

[@DJEMEDIA]

Bristol Channel and the Severn estuary are the second highest tidal range of about 50 ft.

[@BethD765]

Gorgeous footage. Thank you!

[@graham907]

Wow thank you DJE MEDIA for sharing this educational dramatic video, captured brilliantly. Hopefully this is shown in many schools to highlight the dangers these types of tides cause around the world.

[@graham907]

I thought you captured the depth and height the water reaches perfectly, well done thanks again.

[@ElleMay]

What an amazing piece of footage.. I really enjoyed this Curtis thank you! The drone brings added value and the chance to see areas of our beautiful country.. I noticed the ‘Araf’ sign on the road meaning ‘Slow’ in Welsh. I think this would be a great idea for a series, once a week or month of exploring the many wonders of the UK along side your other brilliant content. It gives the viewer chance to see areas that not all of us are able to do. Editing was brilliant, you captured the essence of beauty yet the seriousness of the unseen danger present by the power of water. Keep up the fantastic work.. and thank you for sharing! Bravo 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 🥰

[@grahamj9101]

I have only just come across your video and, as someone who lives within sight (from his front bedroom windows) of the Prince of Wales Bridge, I congratulate you on some excellent cinematography of the bridge and the estuary with the drone. I would, nevertheless, also have encouraged you to have come to this (eastern) side of the estuary, to take some more shots. I take a walk along what is known as the Binn Wall from Severn Beach, beneath the bridge, to New Passage and back at least once a week. I was there only this afternoon, a couple of hours before low tide. However, what is particularly striking here is the debris, including whole trees, stranded at the high tide line by a spring tide. The tide line is only a couple of metres below the parapet of the wall and, if it were not for the wall, the village of Severn Beach and the fields beyond would be under two or three metres of water during an equinoxial spring high tide. And, at a spring low, there is more rock and mud to be seen than water. I recall taking this walk last autumn at high tide, with a strong south-westerly wind behind the incoming tide. The waves were actually breaking over the top of the parapet on occasions, leaving seaweed, seagrass and other debris on the footpath.

[@DJEMEDIA]

Thats very interesting... I'd love to see an exceptionally high tide. Any due soon ??

[@grahamj9101]

@@DJEMEDIA I'm sorry to have to tell you that the lowest/highest tide of the year (low 0.10m, high 14.37m) at Beachley/Aust occurred on 30 September. It resulted in the first five star Severn Bore since 2019, but it was after dark. You will find videos of it being ridden by surfers elsewhere on KZbin. There is a five star bore predicted for Tuesday 12 March 2024, the only one of the year, and it's in the morning (0936 at Stonebench, near Gloucester). On that day, low tide at Avonmouth is at 0309 (0.36m) and 1529 (0.12m): high tide is at 0836 (14.26m) and 2055 (13.97m). If I'm not visiting my daughter and family in Singapore, I may be on the river bank somewhere between Elmore Back and Stonebench that morning - but so will a lot of people and the lanes will be crammed with cars.

[@DJEMEDIA]

@grahamj9101 thanks for the info... the lighthouse must be almost gone at 14m +

[@grahamj9101]

Unfortunately, at least for getting to see the Bore, I was (and am still) in Singapore with the family. However, the BBC showed surfers riding the wave on 12th March. Did you catch that? I'll be interested to see where the debris on the high tide is when I get home and take a walk at Severn Beach.

Wow . What a difference in water levels. Mind blowing stuff .Great video. Many thanks.

[@julianharvey6584]

You briefly showed the Sudbrook pumping stataion, it pumps nearly 14 million gallons of water a day from The Great Spring in the Severn rail tunnel.

[@user-zc5ft9nw9b]

Once saw a clip, I belive of this estuary whereby a chap walked and crawled across at low tide, I am sure it was top gear but I cannot confirm 100%, any way it was one of the craziest and most interesting bits of video I have ever seen, I have never been able to find it since.

[@jeanhill6567]

Fantastic video. Really scary. Stay safe ❤

[@oojimmyflip]

If you like big tides go see Abgervany beach in Wales, the tide goes out about 7 miles to leave a sandy beach and a very high sea wall but when it comes back in again on a spring tide the water is almost lapping over the sea wall.

[@nippynorm2408]

Well I know this is an old film but it’s the first time I’ve ever seen your face, so now I’m able to put a face to the commentary, very different from the image I had. Keep up the good work.

[@postcardsfromprotest]

Great video. People being caught out on mudflats when a tide comes in it all too common. Not understanding how fast tides move or even checking the tidal times beforehand is dangerous.

[@phillipjones4692]

It's the second highest tidal range in the world. At certain times the tide comes in so fast it causes a tidal wave called severn bore

[@craigtomkinson2150]

Spring tide is the strongest that's when you can see the Severn bore

[@thestalicho]

Very interesting but I must have missed seeing the tide come in, could someone give a video time please.

[@sarahgray1836]

More missing people videos please like them better when you looking for people thanks

Bless you …. Thank you for this awareness very apt love your channel ur content the way u deliver it ur a really caring guy much love to you xxx🙌💝🥰✌️ xxxx

[@gmattk]

Tidal flow rate is pretty important using the rule of 12 and a chart to estimate flow rate.

[@ododargo]

hi dj have you ever been to morcambe bay its the second highest tide covers a vast sandy flat bay and comes in fast i lived in grange as a kid in the 60s and 70s seen a few rescues from the quick sands

[@SuperNorini]

Great film work but it would be good to know who composed the sound track. It's only fair to give him/her a mention.

[@DJEMEDIA]

Epidemic sounds you don’t need to but yes I will add them in

[@Layton1235]

I don’t know but I remember my nan talking about a family member who went fishing in this river to never return and another who found a leg in the river

[@justaguy745]

the world`s highest tides are on the Bay of Fundy at Burntcoat Head 50.66 ft (15.44 m)

[@johnbryant6935]

The Severn has the 2nd highest tidal range in the world. The largest is in Canada I think.

[@HauntedTheTruth]

is this the welsh side as it does not look like aust beach or severn beach

[@hedgehogwildlifejunction9119]

1607 2,000 PEOPLE DIED THERE IN A TSUNAMI.

[@edy21865]

This is definitely not the world’s highest tide or tidal change for that matter. That title belongs to the Bay of Fundy in Canada. The tidal height there reaches an astonishing 17 meters! That’s more than 3 meters higher than what happens here in this video.

[@BJHolloway1]

You have to wonder why sucessive governments have never passed plans to harness the power of this phenomenon to generate electricity?? The French have managed it.

Sydney Harbour has the greatest tidal range - Sharpness is second.

Tide energy for the future, gov says 2 expensive. Stupid 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🙄

[@PillSharks]

3rd biggest now being beaten by the bay Funday in Canada and 2nd also in Canada! The small light house at the end is Charleston Rock and to the south of that under the bridge is know has the shoots! The Bristol Port survey vessel recorded a spring tide there at 15knots!! I was told that by the skipper of the survey boat….when sailing in the Bristol Channel you go the way the tide takes you because you’ll never beat it! If you want to really show it’s tidal range then come down to Pill, North Somerset which is on the river Avon and home to the Bristol pilots who were responsible for piloting the ships since the day John Cabot sailed in 1497! On a big spring it’s about a ft from the top of the tidal defence and then at low water the rivers nearly empty.. very impressive but I guess I take it all for granted as it’s something I see often.
