No its about 2 miles SSE from Breaksea Point.The exact position isnt critical to the question just the general area.

As you would be close to the channel leading into Nash Passage, you would experiance a strong tidal flow and overfalls as shown on the chart around St Donats Point .

No. Probably not a good question as you need a chart to spot the problem.So Ill wind this one up.
Pilot boarding area "A" for vessells constrained by draught is in position 3 miles WNW from the Breaksea racon buoy.There is a prohibited anchorage all around the area and as far up as just East of the Merkur buoy. also you wouldnt want something like this

230 meters LOA and 14 meters draught.
Someone else want to do the next Question?

I was thinking of the Breaksea Buoy which used to be off the power station. Using an old chart of course. Not the Breaksea Racon.

Very busy so far this evening, and as soon as I log on and know the answer, Graham gives it up /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Can I do a quickie to be going on with? Probably not very difficult, but it's a pretty whereisit IMO

Is it the inside of a lighthouse?The stone steps look very worn so must be old.Other than that no idea.

Yes - it's the inside of a lighthouse! Big clue: it was too high.

Lundy. One of the scariest stairs I've ever been up. One time i went up there was no bannister. Very odd feeling, I actually ascended with my shoulder rubbing the wall.

Dead right! Last summer, it was blocked off when I was there. It used to be a great place in a storm - you could pinch some chairs from downstairs and sit on the light platform, with a beer or several and fantastic views, as the gale lashed against the windows /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I heard it had been blocked off. Shame; another fun, free thing off the list.
I've spent one night up there in a really vile storm and I concur with you that it is great. The size of those cast glazing bars and the fabulous quality if the class is a joy. Had a very silly night drinking and smoking with a mate.
I'll go now and wrack my head for a suitable question.
Cheers,

A famous left hand point break on the North Devon coast. Where is it?
Sort of sailing question, but with a dollop of surfing thrown in.

Croyde is famous, but it is not specifically a left. The clue lies in the word.... No hang on, clue on request.

Lynmouth has a well-known specifically LH point break.
(I thought the north end of Croyde has a LH break over the reef?)
