Marking annoying rocks

[JumbleDuck]

Lots of these rocks are in submarine exercise areas - a bit of torpedo practice for the Navy perhaps?

Or just ram them repeatedly with Astute-class subs. The rocks will wear away eventually.

Have you any idea how much a torpedo costs?

I don't think he meant use a torpedo. The RN seem to use the subs for levelling out the sea bed

Take your mind back to a time before GPS and Plotters etc. "Someone" painted a couple of white marks on the seaward side of an above water rock, which when lined up with the old Manse on Eigg, gave a good safe transit, between the offlying underwater rocks, in to Poll nam Partan.

When the extremely " insular" inhabitants of the Island were made aware of the marks (some years down the line), they showed great annoyance, and threatened to report the painter to the police.:disgust:

I was in Poll nam Partan a couple of weeks ago. Unlike my previous visit several years ago there was no sign of the painted rock.

Makes for a very short-lived transit.
