A pic from the Friday trip up to Clovelly & Hartland Point

The Marisco Tavern and the view from the Loo! (unless you are vertically challenged of course)

Some pics taken from the Tavern.

Great conditions. Where did you all stay?

Chris · 22 March 2009, 21:04

A couple from the top of the lighthouse and a prop that needs a bit of reworking. Should put a smile on Julie at Steel Developents face (perhaps not

)

Stayed and lauched from Appledore,good slip BUT with round the clock access ONLY on neaps.[and 4x4's pretty essencial at low] .Chris arranged swinging moorings for the R.I.B's,and the B and B we stayed at overlooked them, AND the car- park, perfect.
[ p.m me and I'll sort out the details if your're interested, but I dare say we'll be down there again sometime this summer if you want to join us]

Thanks, sounds good.

If you guys ever plan a day trip to Lundy from your side, I could run out of Burry Port and meet you somewhere mid channel. Maybe Codprawn would come along too?

greenkeg · 23 March 2009, 21:19
