A real time drive around the coastline of the United Kingdom - Day 8
Join us as we make our 5,108 mile real time drive by road, around the coastline of the United Kingdom. Full disclosure – we haven’t completed Northern Ireland yet but when we do we’ll add that to the total mileage.
The intention was to take the longest possible route, driving as close to the coast as possible and never using a Motorway! We tried to see as much of our coastline as we could.
The journey had some dark and drizzly days to begin with, but many were sunny and truly beautiful, especially the west coast of Scotland.
The journey took about 30 full days to complete. Our campervan ‘Minty’ served us very well; he is a 2005 Timberland Independence with a 2.8L Fiat Ducato manual gearbox.
In order to find the route closest to the coast we needed to use Google Maps, hence the constant verbal navigation by whomever wasn’t driving. Oh, and sorry about Bev’s occasional swearing!
On days 1 and 2 we learned that even in UK conditions the GoPro Hero 9 could not handle 4k and overheated a number of times, hence the occasional editing fades and the noise produced by the vents trying to cool the camera. We resolved this by changing to 1080p and had no further overheating and therefore very few edits.
I gave lots of thought to producing silent videos or to leave all voice and background noise in and unedited. If you don’t like our noise, please turn us down!
We had lockdowns, breakdowns, flat tyres, closed roads, golf courses, the occasional wrong turn and all manner of friendly disagreements but, overall, we loved the adventure.
It’s a long ride, so buckle up!!
Jon, Bev and Charlie

A Visit To Knot End
In this video we visit Knot End, where the dogs don't want to get their paws wet. We have lunch outside a busy pub, then take a stroll down the sea front. where we take a quick look at the town centre before returning to the car.
Knott End-on-Sea.wmv
Knott End-on-Sea Knott End-on-Sea is a village in Lancashire, England, situated on the southern side of Morecambe Bay, across the Wyre estuary from Fleetwood. Although there is no through road (to get there one has to pass through neighbouring Preesall), the village is in fact the main commercial centre for the Over Wyre area. As well as a variety of shops and cafes, Knott End has its own pub (the Bourne Arms), county library, NatWest bank and golf club. Buses run regularly from Knott End to Blackpool, Garstang, Lancaster and Fleetwood, and there is also a seasonal three-minute ferry crossing to Fleetwood

Giant Disused Water Pump and Substation #2, Over Wyre, lancashire
Used to pump water to the huge brine wells on the banks of the River Wyre. There's four of these giant pumps within a half mile radius of each other, More video's of the other locations to come
Here's the history -
At Preesall, on the east bank of the River Wyre, a large area of land was given over to the mining of brine deposits. In 1889, the brine was sent in pipes across the river to the salt works at Burn Naze on the west bank.
The brine mining was carried out by the Fleetwood Salt Co. Ltd, who leased 445 hectares at Preesall, obtained permission for the pipes across the river and leased a further 9 hectares of Burn Naze salt marsh for the works (see separate entry) .
Before brine pumping came along, salt production by the evaporation of seawater had been a feature of the area around the mouth of the Wyre. Production of salt using this method was carried out in the 16th and 17th centuries. However, local methods moved on — to brine pumping, rock salt mining and then to the solution mining of modern times.
Early brine mining commenced with a 170m deep borehole sunk at Fleetwood by the Royal Engineers in 1860. At Preesall, the Rev. Daniels and Daniel Elletson sank a 2.5m diameter half-brick lined shaft in 1875. Other shafts followed in the 1870s.
Fleetwood Salt Company's 1885 borehole was 186m deep and dug under the direction of E. Fiddler and A. Anderson. They pumped the brine to the surface using a 'Bull' engine. In 1889, the company gained a monopoly on the deposits and proceeded to carry out the scheme already described.
A small reservoir was constructed on a hill as part of the preparations for pumping brine to Burn Naze. The pipe across the river was 250mm in diameter, designed by Charles H. Beloe and laid by T. Riley. Pumping commenced in 1890 at a rate of 13,640 litres per hour. The rate soon fell to 3,410 litres, which was insufficient for the salt works, so a method of pumping from one shaft to another and extracting the collected volume was devised.
The first white salt was produced at Burn Naze on the 25th February 1890. The company was then sold to United Alkali Co. Ltd. In 1891, Stanley Bros. of Nuneaton built some 460m of 1.7m diameter tunnel at Preesall using a Stanley Heading Machine. That same year, more land at Burn Naze was purchased for the making of carbonate of soda and the Wyre pipeline was replaced with 183m of 100mm rubber hose (later replaced by wire armoured hose).
In 1892-3, boreholes were sunk at the ends of the tunnels and lined with perforated steel pipes. Two 122m wells were dug by Charles Chapman & Sons, and a pumping installation by Hathorn Davey & Co. — capable of raising 204,500 litres per hour — was installed. In 1897, North Field pumping station was built to use the forcing system.
Around 1902, Preesall Salt Works was built to the north of the salt marshes on the east bank of the river. A branch line to the Garstang & Knott End Railway was laid in 1912. An ammonia soda works started production in 1924, later becoming part of the ICI Hillhouse Works.
Brine extraction at Stalmine
In 1872, while searching for iron ore, a syndicate of men from Barrow struck a bed of rock salt about 400ft beneath the surface in Preesall. During the 20th century salt in the form of brine was used as a chemical feedstock by ICI Chemicals and Polymers at the Hillhouse site, Thornton for the production of chlorine, caustic soda and soda ash. Most of the more recent brine wells were drilled in Stalmine. Water was pumped down the brine well which dissolved the Halite (salt) bed and the salt extracted in the form of brine (solution mining). The last brine well to be drilled was BW 135 at the Heads, Stalmine in November 1991.
