1 Gribbin in the background.
2 ?
3 Tesco's just to the right.

 

[fisherman]

Got no 2, about a mile from no 3?

 

[hlb]

Where the hell is Gribbin /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
3/ Ha hah, how many Tesco's are there!!

 

[fisherman]

Gribbin is the daymark in the distance.
Is the sign at Tolverne?
2316, but only one in the only city in the UK beginning with 'T'.

 

[hlb]

There always has to be a know it all!! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Still I want an answer to number one. OK you think yer clever. Whats happened to the Tamimima of JCB fame. Where is she now.!

 

[fisherman]

I'm just so delighted to see a where is it that doesn't involve some barren freezing piece of Scotland.

Gribbin is the Headland outside Fowey.

 

[fisherman]

What's Tamimamima?

 

[hlb]

Yep. There all easy places to go to on the south coast.

The HM turned up when we got there. A boat!! A Boat!! But walked away when he realised we could not stay the night.

Yes Tesco is just round the corner.
But where are we??

 

[hlb]

The Tamimima has been moored at Tolvvern for the past umm, five years or more. Owned by Mr Bamford of JCB. She was the last cargo ship built it britain. She has now gone to the cargo ship in the sky trip, to a beach in India, to be scrapped

Every time I have asked to enter Charlestown it has either been closed, unattended or devoid of interest by the locals.

I once asked if we could lie alongside - outside - during an exceedingly settled spell, but again rejected.

How'dya manage to get let in?

 

[hlb]

Ok then. Think fisherman got them though.

First is Charles Town where old four masted ships are kept behind the lock gate. They filmed the Onedin Line there.

Then theres Truro, which is a bit like sailing on a wet dish cloth to get there, even right at the top of the tide.

Surprisingly the HM provides electric, water, showers and toilets. Cant think who uses them though!!

Then, the place with all the signs, is Mr Newmans. Tolvern cottage, or Smugglers Inn, about half way up the Fal. Part of the D Day landings went from there.

Mr Newman is obsessed with signs. Here is only a small selection. His tariff for mooring is frighteningly complicated. It's a lovely place, a mixture of musium, cream tea cafe and pub.

Re: Jammy

Been to Charlestown loads of times, never had any problem parking.

Mind, I never asked anybody either!! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
