Trinity House ForumFund - update

Here's an unusual 'Whereizit'?

It's only a few days now until this SillyOldBilbo takes heart-in-mouth ( some say better than 'foot-in-mouth'...! ) and has a close look at PBL from an unusual angle, dangling on a rope This is the idea, at Southwold last weekend....

"What flashes 4 times every 20 seconds? Oldbilbo sliding down a rope, in torn jeans....."

There's rather a lot of interest hidden in the Trinity House website.... such as 'Redundant items for sale' and 'Lighthouse Cottages to let'.... ( anyone want 60 tons of 38mm mooring chain ? ) Their gallery of desktop background pics is rather fine, even spectacular, and well worth a peek. Do Have a look.

Saints preserve you, Mr Mountain Man, but what happens if the person descending inverts ? What prevents him/her from falling out of the harness ? Why no shoulder straps ?

Yours, grounded.
