AS big waves pounded the Dawlish shoreline heating and plumbing engineer Matt Kimberley has shared this video of himself being caught by surprise at their ferocity.

Matt said: ‘Wow! What a night out in Dawlish!

‘I'm from Bromsgrove in the West Midlands. We are currently working down here and stopping in Dawlish.

‘We were out walking and when we saw the waves crashing in I couldn't resist being a young kid again lol.

‘I must say after a hard day's work it was very refreshing and uplifting .

‘AQUAMAN has nothing on me!’

We’re glad to report Matt and his friends all got home safely last night, Thursday.
