The Humber is a mighty body of water where the silty tides run at up to six knots. But not all the time. At high tide it becomes a placid lake fifteen miles long and three wide. At low tid, beyond the bridge, it braids into scores of shallow channels that sparkle in the low winter light.
The Humber is also famous for the dense caprice of its rolling fog banks which can engulf you within minutes of appearing. Bright sunshine one second – visibility down to a few yards the next.
I spent a lovely winter on the Humber, long nights, cold days… just the boat and the overwintering birds.
Beyond the Bridge is 26 minutes long and was filmed entirely between the Humber Bridge and Trent Falls during the winter of 2011/12.

877 mb 720p download suitable for great tablets, good laptops, decent desktops
this is the third iteration of the paypal button – it should return you to ktl – however, the best thing to do is to download the film now, watch it later and then decide what it was worth the next time you drop by to download a film.
Please feel free to download and watch the films – as many as you wish. I will not know who has downloaded them. The downloads will cost me around 10 c a gig so if you just want a taster then download the little version -astonishingly good at at 128mb for 26 mins
if you do not enjoy the film you are highly unlikely to come back to the website again but you are probably a sailor so take the bandwidth as a gift from one sailor to another. It cost me about 1.5 cents.
If this works I will make all the KTL films available this way so there would be no need to donate for every film – just the ones you like the best or watch more often or whenever youo are feeling good
but I will keep a tally on this page of the total paypal income for each film – it currently stands at
In the first three days 13 donations of £5, 3 donations of £4, 7 donations of 3 equalling £96
bandwidth costs currently at $30 or around 350 downloads
please feel free to leave a comment in the box provided – let me know about download speeds and formats. Nailing something that works with the constant stream of ipads is a bit of a challenge but there are free players available for downloading to your ipad to make the formats work.
if this is a success then I will change the whole site over – give KTL away and see what comes of it. It seems it would be an experiment worth doing.
