getting on a random train || exploring Southend & Shoeburyness vlog
I was gripped by the spirit of spontaneous adventure and decided to leap onto a random train out of London. I ended up in Shoeburyness and struggled to find anything to entertain me, then went to Southend where I got brutally attacked by a squirrel and went to the end of the pier AND SAW SEALS! what a top notch day out.
if you enjoyed this, check out the next in the series where I visited a celebrity's grandparents in the lovely city of Peterborough:

Shoeburyness and the Thames estuary
SEE MY FACEBOOK GROUP :
Here we can see a view of the Thames as it flows into the sea at Shoeburyness as well as views towards Southend on Sea. The estuary of the Thames is quite massive, I have not seen an estuary anywhere that is this wide - although of course the Amazon or Orinoco are much wider!
My channel on you tube : is one of the most prolific from Poland. I have produced around 1,800 original films, most in English. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects.
Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!
There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers.
Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!

Shoeburyness. Essex. Campfields. 14.09.1986.
Description
Transferred from a video I made on 14.09.1986, of the house I lived in as a small child (47 C Block) These were army married quarters at the time (1957). I believe they were known as the 'Birdcages', but not sure. At the bottom of the garden there was a railway line....long gone, as is the building behind it.....
EXPLORING COASTAL DEFENCES AT SHOEBURYNESS IN ESSEX
I headed to Shoeburyness on the Essex coast near Southend to explore what I thought was just a coastal fort. I was in for a big surprise, as there was an entire coastline full of abandoned coastal defences and listed buildings and structures dating as far back as the Mesolithic!
I was joined by a subscriber named Candice who is also very keen on history and the outdoors. She was a bit camera shy so I didn't film her in any of the shots, but she does exist, honest!

Shoebury East Beach (August 20th 2018)
A grey August morning across the estuary
SWC Free Walk 166, 'The Broomway', 1/9/13.
This was the first group walk that this walker has done in this series of recordings, and the reason for that is that it's highly recommended!
This is a short walk of around 6 miles, three of which are across the notorious shifting sands of 'The Broomway', so called as the path was originally marked out by brooms. It is this latter section where it is best to use a guide, though it could be done without one with careful attention to the coastline and tide, and with good weather.
The walk starts at Churchend's Hertiage Centre, which is a former school, passes the now defunct church and pub, on through the village and then crosses some rather bland agricultural and military land. Three miles later, and the walkers arrive at Asplins Head for the walk across the sands.
Three miles later, at Wakering Stairs, a waiting coach transports the group back to the Heritage Centre for tea.
Wellington boots are recommended, but it could also be done in walking boots with gaiters, or even barefoot, as some did, though with caution.

First, the train had to be pulled to Shoeburyness 'empty', before the run from Southend Central to Cantabury.
