Perpetual quiz B.C. (19)

A clue would perhaps be useful here. You are facing west in Devon, and if you have been there the red bin on the right should offer a clue.

more clues requiredI think unless someone has the position of all red bins entered in their GPS /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I almost went for Port Eynon until I read the its in Devon clue /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
 
Ah yes sorry all. New to the quiz. Far too tricky. Erm a clue. If you look to the left, south, from where the pic is taken you would see the only place in the country with an exclamation mark as part of its name.
 
Saunton Sand ?

Re your neck of the woods after having a lifting keel boat for 9 years which would have been ideal for exploring the Taw /Torridge Estuary we never got around to it,we now have a long keeler with nearly 4 ft draught. I know theres a deep water mooring off Appledore,Are there any other places suitable for our new boat either to settle in soft mud or lean against something?
 
Cigar Graham? :-)
Spot on.
The red bins line the first couple of hundred yards down the beach. They are quite obvious, but I have spent many, many days there so maybe they have made their presence felt on my sub-conscious.
Next time it is my turn I'll try and do slightly better

Apologies Graham, I missed the second part of your past post. It is actually really tricky here with a long keeler. I had my old Apache 29 (Folkboaty type) in watermouth, and unless she was merrily breaking her legs leaving or rising off the ground, she was either off elsewhere or ashore. As you say there is Appledore for staying afloat, but that's about it. Everywhere else I can think of is either hard sand/slightly muddy, or a wall. Bideford is a nice dry out, as is Ilfracombe, as you know, but it is not the best place to keep a boat. I can't think of any soft deep mud at all. Anyone?

I edited to add the last bit probably after you read it.I wish we had explored the Taw and Torridge while we had the lifting keel ,

Next question is where would you find a splodge of white paint on the cliff indicating where to anchor?
 
Ok. Where is this

Good job I've been away, otherwise I would have a moan about all the hand-holding to find the answer /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

(I got the answer from the first pic, so there /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif )
