Where is Pirate BBC Essex (lightship)is moored?

[shmoo]

It usually lives up the Stour between about Bristol and Parkstone but I think it was gone last week and this weekend they are broadcasting again. Anyone know where it is?

Sailed past it this week. It's approx opposite H'penny Pier between the Ganges and Shotley Spit buoys.

Had great fun listening to it. Brings back lots of memories.

Thanks. I must have missed it when I went past last week. We may go down there and gape and remember tank tops and wide trousers, with great embarrassment.

And with greater embarrassment, Tony Blackburn and Kenny Everett. Aren't you all listening to Sounds of the Sixties now?
