Up the Earn

[dylanwinter]

I've recently moved to Bridge of Earn in the past year and have been looking at a little of the history. Apparently paddle steamers used to be able to get up the Earn as far as Bridge of Earn. Proof...

There is a second postcard very near the bottom of this page

well found that man -

somewhat undermines my sense of achievement in getting up there in my 22 footer. I wonder if they grounded as many times as I did

Aaaarrrgghh.... I hate that sound.

all part of the fun

it is a centre plate so when it hits I know that I am three feet from grounding

it is a wonderful bottom tester in everything but steep rock and super silky mud
