There is a rock, not mentioned in the pilot called cheese rock just before Britannia bridge just off track

OK now I'm worried..........sounds like the kind of thing Kwacker would say " Oh yeh! I hit that one in 74" so where exactly is it before I hit it in 2009. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Yes, you pass over Cheese Rock every time you transit.

It features on this sketch, bottom left corner, and is mentioned in the blurb. I think Kwaka has mostly knocked the top off it by now.

'Now Here This'!

In the best possible way as per Yankee Naval Films /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The Brittania Bridge was set alight in the Seventies by some Local lads.
Who were just muckin about at the time.
Nowt ter do with Plaid Cymru and burning Holiday Homes and all that Crap!

So the Bridge had to be mended.
So they stuck a road on top.
Twas just a Railroad before.

So thanks to the lads from Maesgeirchan (local bandit estate) /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
No Names No Pack Drill (Major will understand) We now have a road on Top!

Two things happened during the rebuild which interests us Boaters locally.
Well, I suppose Visitors too.

On the Anglesey side of the Bridge.
It was decided to reinforce/ strengthen the area about the 'Pillar' on that side.

Before the rebuild water passed between the Anglesey side and the Northern 'pillar'.

Doesn,t now!

But what happened was----

Whilst infilling Tons and Tons of 'stuff' between the shore and the 'pillar'.
Tons and tons was washed west towards an Area called Pwllfannog.

Those who know the spot.
It's between the Bridge and just before the Nelson Column.
So.
It aint charted.
So.
Be carefull peeps.
There is a big lump there.


Plus.
Whilst big concrete thinghies etc were being used to re inforce Brittania bridge after the fire.
One got dropped accidently.
Big Mother fecker!!

It sits just under the South Arch.

Sticks up about 6 ft above L.A.T just before the approach ( to the Arch) heading West.
Not Charted!

Well its a bit left of centre.

Not like My Politics.
Which are just to the right of Genghis Khan at the Mo!!
