Whereisit (again)

[LONG_KEELER]

Tell me if you are getting fed up with these.

If you get all the questions correct, you win a unique priceless " whereisit" pen . That is, one of your own biros with you writing "whereisit" on it.

Questions ., what river am I on, what is it, name of river under the object and what boat am I on.

 

[Cantata]

You're on the Thames.
That's a tidal barrier, I think the one at Barking.
So Barking Creek passes under it.
As for your boat....dunno!

 

[Yorkshire Exile]

River Humber, River Hull, Humber Keel.

 

[Seashoreman]

Up the 'London River' past Tilbury on the North Bank?

 

[pvb]

Yes, it's the Barking Creek Barrier.

 

[nigelm]

I could see that from work, that is until I retired ?

 

[Yorkshire Exile]

I was only a couple of hundred miles out, which is nothing in astronomical terms

 

[LONG_KEELER]

Well done all.

I have a soft spot for the River Roding. Some miles up river was where I launched my first
floating object. A raft I made, turned out to be not only short on bouncy, but unstable too. It also floated off somewhere towards Barking.

This is the boat I was on.

The River Roding was a couple of fields away from the house where I grew up. My friend who lived on the farm next door used to fish in it, but never caught anything as far as I recall.

I was in and around the Redbridge area. I never caught anything either but I did see a few pike.

Were you onboard the Waverley?

River Roding - Wikipedia

Did not realise it rises near Great Dunmow!!

 

[ex-Gladys]

Several villages over that way called "xxx Roding" - for example, High Roding and Leaden Roding...

Bernard and Abbess complete the set, I think, not Iived there for 50 years or so. I grew up between Ongar and Fyfield.

Its a section cut through a coaster, put there for the Millennium. The vessel was "MV Reality", from a fleet where all the boats ended in "ity". The sculpture was called "A slice of Reality" They had money for that stuff in 1999.
