Continual Quiz about the Bristol Channel (4)

[tonybarebones]

Nay Nay Damo; far too much prevarication… and in any case you can’t have a range of answers… doh whatever next I can’t imagine... It's not Sker point, and it's not the Bendrix... I can see Im going have to give you a clue or two... It's at least 100,000 000 years old... it's sited where Marconi sent his first message from and it's the biggest one in wales, so there.

 

[damo]

Lavernock Point and fossil beach deposits

 

[graham]

Lavernock point and its the largest brown thing in Wales? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[tonybarebones]

Not lavernock Point... try the other end from whence Marconi transmitted the first radio communication over water, yes it is a fossil but what of?

Flat Holm, and looks like a superb example of a rippled marine surface preserved, unusually, in limestone.

 

[Csail]

Barry, the rocks off 'Atlantic trading estate' dinasaur footprints.

O.K... Damo is the nearest, as far as I can make out.... it is located on the West side of Flatholm, ajacent to the farmhouse and it's fossilised ripples left in sand... the claim to fame is it's the bigest fossil in Wales... well I never did. Over to you again Damo.

This island obscures the view of the harbour entrance when approaching from offshore, which can be a bit disconcerting!

[Csail]

Nope to both

 

[NJMcK]

what are the extremeties lands end to st davids head?

 

[damo]

I think the general consensus was Lands End to St Davids - that's what I'm working to anyway /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[graham]

I allways though that the Bristol Channel finished at Bull Point and St Annes Head. Bit of a grey area I guess .

 

[NJMcK]

This is my first attempt at a photo link, so it may go horribly wrong.

Where is this?

 

[graham]
