YouTuber travels to Isles of Scilly in a bathtub

Max Fosh travelled across the sea from Sennen Cove in Cornwall to Hugh Town

A content creator has completed a "ridiculous journey" to the Isles of Scilly in a bath.

YouTuber Max Fosh travelled across the sea from Sennen Cove in Cornwall to Hugh Town.

The adventure took place on Wednesday, with a number of islanders greeting the content creator at the finish line.

He said his desire to take on the journey was "because no one has ever done it before" and because he had a spare bath.

Mr Fosh and his support team left at 07:30 BST, arriving on Scilly at about 16:00 BST.

He added: "I've had this idea before and I wondered if it's possible to get to the Isles of Scilly in a bath.

"I found a drawing that I made when I was six, of me in a bath tub sailing the seas, so I thought 'let's make little Max's dream come true'.

"I was very well supported - I had a safety boat and crew, I wanted to make sure that no one was called out for my stupidity.

"It was pretty uncomfortable with eight or nine hours in a boat and my back is now not loving me - but I thought that I've got to do this for a bit of fun."

Upon arrival into Hugh Town, Mr Fosh made his way to the The Mermaid Inn

On arrival into Hugh Town, Mr Fosh made his way to the Mermaid Inn, where he said the "world's first Scilly fest" was born.

"I put a couple of hundred quid behind the bar and all of a sudden everyone wanted to come and learn about the bathtub adventure!" he said.

"We didn't really want to have to tow the bathtub back to Sennen or Penzance, so I found a lovely 10-year-old chap who lives on the island.

"I asked if he wanted it and his face absolutely lit up.

"The boat is called Billy the Bathtub Boat, so if you see it - make sure you say hi from me."

He said that the official video should be released in about six weeks time.
