It never ceases to amaze me how people think they can beat the tide. THEY CAN'T!! We were hearing of so many people, and families having to be rescued because of the incompetence of the drivers inability to read the tide times. Perhaps if they had to contribute to the rescue services for getting them back on dry land, they might think twice.
Great little interview, nice guy. I love in UK, know about but never been to the place. Never ceases to amaze me how people don't understand cars do not turn into boats or subs like in James Bond 🙄
The line of posts you can see in some of the shots marks the walking route across the sand. It's about three miles and takes a couple of hours - walking across wet sand is not as easy as walking on pavement.
No pot holes though and even better you get a lock in. Even better is no rubber dinghy’s with unsavory people turning up announced. Ok so you have a pub right then all you need is a chippy a pizza delivery. Then to cap it off a donna van. Life couldn’t be any simpler
There definitely are potholes!!! I was lucky enough not to be one of those that got a puncture on 18 March ..... fix.northumberland.gov.uk/report/5731943
i once had to pull my stupid pall out of the sand from the causeway ,i told him not to go on the sand as the tide was coming in i just managed to get him onto the causway but we thought he was gonna loose his jeep never venture onto the sand when the tide is coming in its no joke even in 4x4
I went to Lindisfarne in March 2023 lovely island with rich history the people working in the shops very helpful and friendly I got bus from Glasgow cost 20 quid return and only 3 hours to get there planning to go back this year
we almost broke our engine there when the tide was going out because we followed a van who got bored waiting. I am sure the car moved slightly too with the current. the car was a white MG Maestro :)
I only live 50 or so miles down the coast and am amazed to learn that the road/causeway was only made in the late fifties.... I always imagined that barriers and lights were resisted for Holy Island for aesthetic reasons, the area being an AOONB.
For the simple reason that beautiful place, so full of great history has been spoilt. I always dreamt as a child I could visit there for the history and spiritual significance but it's been destroyed now. Commercial bread and all that sad bullish
Hi Amsterdam Taxi sharing friends from Holy Island! We shared Gordon's cab with you a few weeks ago. Glad to see you are back home safely and hoping the car damage was not too costly. Great job on this video! Our best to you, Nora + Mike from the US!
Yes! Nice! We didn’t have much time to make cool private vlog. On the account of WaldNet there’s the official one with English subtitles as well. We didn’t have extra costs so don’t worry about that! We only drove once the cause way, next time we are going to walk 😀
Hey Jan. Is there a longer version we can see? We loved the short one with the historian. Didn't you inteview a fellow dane who loves on Holy Island? Thanks Nora
We do have in the north of Netherlands also islands and nowadays we have to dig each day to make the ferry float. This idea would be outstanding but in our country the islands aren't semi islands like Holy Island
A barrier would be an inconvenience to the man on film but it might be a lifesaver to people who don't recognise the danger of cross over or delaying their stay on the island. What will it take to think safety first?
Pandering to a few idiots per year who don’t research their travel plans ?!…. “ Hey I’m going hiking up Snowdon ( Yr Wyddfa) in trainers, no backpack, cos I’m fit and I’ll be back in a few hours”… then find the weather changes, your phone has no reception…. No sympathy … and well done to the locals.👍
You drove there in this video? Fun part of making our videos, we hit a block on the road and we had to do everything without a car. The people of the island did drive us once up and down. So that was great to make a few shots

And that suddenly reminds me of a very beautiful song from 1978 .. Lindisfarne - Run for Home

Indeed. I saw a lot of people doing it. You mean the poles in the sand / mud
@@JanJelle Yes. They mark the safe route across.
"England to Holy island"
Holy island is is still in england.
No pot holes though and even better you get a lock in. Even better is no rubber dinghy’s with unsavory people turning up announced. Ok so you have a pub right then all you need is a chippy a pizza delivery.

Really kind people indeed. We did broke our car at the causeway 🥹 so they drove us around, I did make more videos those days. Have fun there!
Wonderful!
The only bit of road in England without pot holes 🤣
What about building a bridge?!
There is a small bridge above the channel but it will flood when the sealevel rises. It’s quite a distance, the whole way
Too expensive.

Good you did survive! We had a accident as well but not below sea level. 100 meters ahead
The Three Stooges. 🥴😵💫🤥

Of course! This time no Bruce but another cause 😃 I still hope next year?

I remember taking my wee Cavalier Lady to Lindisfarne in my OHs Škoda Rapid 1.36.
