Storm Barra hits the south hard with HIGH WINDS, HEAVY RAIN and HUGE WAVES.
Come with us on our first storm chasing trip in our little red camper. This is part two of a two part film.
We get the rough weather expected on the South Coast of England. We show you Brighton, Shoreham and Newhaven where the waves were devastating. We also see Wave Walker One platform taking a battering from the waves

Hello Little Red Campervan! ‘Climb in the back and make a cup of coffee type of Storm Chaser’ - brilliant Carol - made me chuckle. Really enjoyed this video -(all of them actually) but this one had a special excitement! Thought you were very adventurous going so close to the waves but realised Ken you’d have weighed up the risk carefully. I’m sure you’ll be posting again before Christmas but from me, I hope you have a great Christmas 🎄 and I’ll look forward to lots of more vlogs next year. Best wishes to you both.

It’s a pity the city doesn’t tear that burnt out pier down. Such an eyesore in that beautiful view! Sad! It looks to be rather run down city. But no one wants to pay more taxes. I have heard the stories of Brighton Beach in its glory days. ❤

@LifeistooshortCK 9 ай бұрын

Brighton did go through a period of renewal several years ago and has become a very popular destination. Sadly they have not kept up the spending and some parts are now very neglected. The ruins of the pier are so iconic I don’t think they will ever take it down.
