You know me. I like lighthouses.
There are many (or more) posts on the blog which refer to lighthouses.
Ones in the UK, the IOM, in SA, in France, even one in Germany.
And so I was delighted to stumble across a new Youtube Channel by a lighthouse maintenance engineer, called Keeping A Lighthouse. All the information that you could ever want about his job… er… keeping a lighthouse running, and a chance to see the inside working bits that you never usually get to see.
Described as:
A personal view of looking after lighthouses around the UK and the Channel Islands. My main aim is to give people an insight into the work that we carry out in order to keep the Aids to Navigation working but also to hopefully inspire others to get into a similar line of work.
it does get a bit technical and nerdy, but that’s really no big deal, because again, no matter the subject, to find someone that is passionate about their job and who wants to share that passion is always a real bonus, and Scott is certainly that sort of person.
Uploads are a bit sporadic, but they do happen and they’re really interesting when they do.
To accompany the channel, there’s an Instagram account as well with loads of good stuff.
Go and give it a watch and a follow.
