Photos of the Bristol Channel...

The Bristol Channel Yachting Association are compiling the next edition of the B.C.Y.A. Hand-book, sometimes affectionately known as "The Blue Book" to that end, if anyone has any nice photos of the Bristol Channel, especially harbours, anchorages, estuaries & etc. for inclusion in that publication and would be willing to donate them (i.e. relinquish the copy-write) it would be much appreciated, (the photos if used will of course be credited with the originator) please send them to Susanne Newbold individually, i.e. one photo in each e mail to admin@baymarineinsurance.co.uk thanking you in advance, best regards, Tony Davies.

Tony,

I will have a dig through what I have. Will the new 'blue book' be available as a PDF so useable from the likes of an iPad?

It might be helpful to know the harbours, anchorages etc that are lacking photos. I've managed to collate a small collection (as per my website in my signature) but don't really fancy sending random photos to Susanne in case they're what she's looking for.

Tony has gone off to New Zealand for a few months so may not respond as quickly as normal. If you have pictures, it may be worth emailing Susanne to see which harbours they are needed.

I am in the land of the Kiwi )

I am indeed in the land of the Kiwi! Heres what Susanne has asked me to post on the forum...

Do you have access to the forum - people are saying that we have not replied to them. Please could you write we don't have many photographs at all.

We would appreciate them from around the Bristol Channel. We are looking for pictures of harbour entrances for example - Porlock Weir, showing channel markers poles or Watchet at low water to assist sailors with navigation in and around the area.

Any pictures of the Bristol Channel area that give people a feel of the area would be really helpful.

Also if we did not use then all in the Blue Book would people mind put them on the BCYA Web Site I am sure people would find them very interesting. We are happy to acknowledge the owner of the photographs. Thanks Tony Kind regards Susanne.

loads of photos on www.cbyc.co.uk ( click on gallery) - I'm presuming that Tony will already have done this though!!!!

Includes some interesting photos of various bits at LAT - shows why you shouldn't underestimate your tidal predictions!!!!

I used to liveaboard in Lynmouth harbour on a fishing boat, I'll have to raid my parents attic and see if I can unearth any old photos from the good ol' days!
