Hey Mate- why have u stopped posting videos on farming and wildlife ?

😮

So useful . Thankyoub

I'm from a family of Fen skaters (a champion or two apparently) and am so pleased that we still had decent winters when I was a kid. I remember 1985-1987 vividly, I'd finally got my own pair after hand me downs, and we skated till we dropped, though on a lake rather than the fens. Very happy memories, and a few pics of a 15 year old who thought she was very cool, with legwarmers and Walkman! Lovely video.

I can see North Wales from Cumbria... it must've been a bloody useless telescope, if it couldn't see over 6 miles. In fact, Scientifically speaking, I'd say that he probably was using a Smarties tube...

Like them... but not them...

On the square?... Squares! He admits it's "flat", right at the beginning. "... because it is flat..."

Globalist are liars, evolutionists are liars Both are ANTI-CHRIST

The lake could not be 32 inches lower on one side or the other without being under extreme surface tension which it is not and therefore water would flow downhill from one side of the lake to the other if one side of the lake were 32 inches higher this is common sense.

Brilliant vid. I done roller speed but would love to try ice!

Great video..

In the late Seventies and early Eighties my family would go to the field near The Dog and Doublet public house to skate. The 'rink' was enormous. There used to be holes smashed in the ice with safety cones around them to prevent people accidently falling in them. I still drive past Whittlesey where the fiend still gets flooded every year, but I have never seen it frozen enough for people to skate on it safely. Fond memories, great documentary.

Grew up opposite Bury fen but never skated on it.

Hi, did you publish the results of your observation ?

In other words we've been lied to all along. The earth is not a globe

I learned of this project while visiting the Edinburgh festival. The pubs were so busy that you had to share tables, which made the experience that much more fun. During one such story-swap out tablemate mentioned he was an engineer who had worked on TH and that set me off on the topic.

The earth is flat period

This is amazing! Stumbled on this as my ancestors were involved in the 17th century drainage work, never expected to see this! Fascinating, thank you.

Em um em um em um - why can’t those give Lectures learn to talk properly without all those bad habits !!

Another British invention, thrown away, by stupid, ignorant politicians!

I dont see why this didnt catch on. *_DEATH_*

The whole project was supposed to be shrouded in secrecy. I had to sign the official secrets act to work there

Wonderful special effects and narration. Well done. Simple yet very interesting facts about my ancestors homeland, literally. Natives and immigrants worked extremely hard on the land Not just centuries ago, but also today.

Great video. Not every innovation is practicable. The French and Americans also abandoned tracked air cushioned vehicles (TACV) As I understand it the basic problem is momentum drag. Air has to be accelerated to the speed of the vehicle and is then expelled to create the hover. At high speed this is an extremely large amount of air. The energy required is too much compared to the alternatives. TACV’s have been in operation at lower speeds.

I am a teenager and would love to try skating when the Fen next freezes! It is nice to see that my great uncle Gary Warrington was thanked at the end.

2020?

My parents grew up in germany and mum loved it when the lakes froze, travelling from village to village was easy

great film thank you, you may like our film shot on the Great Ouse at Little Port...th-cam.com/video/5QfTosWTB4c/w-d-xo.html

James Smart was also my great grandfather spent many great holidays at Norway House in the late 50 ,s

Lived just up the road from Alan fisher

My Dads family were all from the Fens. Benwick and Ely. Dad would tell me how as a lad in the 1920/30s he and his brothers and mates would skate for miles across the frozen Fens jumping any barbwire fences that still stood up above the ice. He still had his old blades, Norwegians I think he called them and they were strapped onto the foot with leather straps.

Sounds a bit like what goes in Africa today:)

Eddy the eagle?!

Amazing I know the area but had no idea that it even existed...

Is it possible to find records of competitors or winners? I'm interested in finding any skaters from Ten Mile Bank.

It makes my blood boil to see a projects like the RTV hover train after so much work and money spent,TSR2, and I can't remember the name of the British rocket program, the list goes on, other program plus the demise of our aircraft industry and god knows how many other British industries gone. All though money, when the government can find £50 billion just like that, to give to the EU. billions building aircraft carriers and buying American aircraft to put on them.

So Cool! Thanks for the post. I getting into this old tech because of my goofy Hooterville Rail Zeppelin cardboard model post th-cam.com/video/EDli8mwcrB4/w-d-xo.html . I'm thinking about how to make a hover train model along the same lines . If I pull it off I'll post it on You Tube. I remember Rohr used this Brit tech on their design and then it all seemed to disappear. Still seems like a very good idea to me.

Brilliant video! Would you be okay with us at BASF Crop protection providing a link to this video in a facebook post for world habitat day?

Great! Magnificent! Fantastic! Did you find any skep beehive remnants or bee iconography? What a worthy dig!

John Ballantine...are you related to the Smarts of Welney by any chance...James Smart World Champion 1891 was my Gt Grandfather.

Fascinating video. My maternal grandfather was a fen skater when young in Lincolnshire; sometime in the late 1890s and into the 1900s.

Excellent. Remember it as a kid! 7:26 statement regarding high rail - "Wasn’t all that successful, as it fell down." LOL!

Fabulous! It is about time the story of this incredible machine was told! I remember a friend of mine who was there when the axe fell - Telling me everyone was crying! They were so sad their epic work had be consigned to the scrapheap!

Brainiac!

Loved listening to this.

Great information, thanks!

Great and interesting!

A great event, well organised by OWLP, that brought together experts in the history, heritage, archaeology and ecology of The Fens.

Though there is always room for repentance, I truly hope God has a special place reserved for the scum who perpetrate such rubbish upon all of us while (desperately trying to) sustain the lie of the globe Earth. Great comments, Kapetan. Their lame theatrics, utter dishonesty and dark hearts make me ill to watch.

Hilarious! Beautiful effort! We have the pipe at 0:41 (credibility established). Then at 1:50-1:54 we have A MARVELOUS facial expression(s) of a scientist working hard while we are hearing about desert mirage and refraction (just perfect timing). Then immediately we have a discrediting of a Samuel Rowbothams telescope while flashing a triple six hand sign... then pseudo science is mentioned. This is finest piece of theater here, bravo! And hey can you tell us what did you see through that measuring device of yours? LOL I AM LOVING THIS SHIT!
