Rocks

[DavidofMersea]

islecastle1's story of the army blowing up a hazardous rock made me wonder if there were any other rocks that the army ought to blow up - does anybody know of any?

The sub barrier of Southsea ........ open up the north Solent .....

I don't think Napoleon or Doenitz is going to visit anmore and the average sub nowadays wouldn't be able to submerge in such shallow waters now !!

How about that big one off Australia they bumped into ? Save them getting it wrong again.

The Slimers

North & South Slimers between the Mewstone & Newton Ferrers. Hit the south slimer back in April "Bast@rd" It's been hit twice since then making a total of at least four hits in one year. There must be more grp on it than barnacles.

Re: Your wish is my command...

See note 5. It is rather important, as Nigel is talking about the northern side of the Solent.

Many years ago a rock in a narrow sound inside Vancouver Island was blown up. It was the largest ever non-nuclear explosion.

Re: The Slimers

Bad luck. I understand the slimers were more significant rocks, but they got blasted down by bored gunners from the nearby range (now defunct).

yeah but whenever people tell me that I feel like saying "Prove it!" or "OK, you go first and I'll watch".
