the Severn Bore

I came across this posted today on the Black Rock Lave Net Heritage Fishery's Facebook page; as far as videos of the Severn Bore go, I don't think this one was particularly spectacular; Newnham is only just past the Noose, so the estuary has only just started to funnel at this point. On the other hand, it's too far down stream to be intruded upon by the usual crowd of surfers and RIBS.

So it's not much of a wave here, but I don't think this video is about the wave itself, but rather than volume and velocity of the water that funnels up the channel. Our tide just never fails to astound me.

I've cross-posted this video from Facebook, so hopefully it'll work. Admittedly, previous attempts to do this haven't been entirely successful.

They often post some quite interesting stuff, interesting if you share my love and interest of the Severn Estuary, at least. Unfortunately, the website listed at the foot of their FB post appears to be a dead link.

Ironically, despite having lived here since the beginning of the 90's, and despite having followed the Bore upriver in our old Drascombe Lugger (from a respectable distance) a few times, I've only actually been to watch the Bore once. I should probably remedy that.
