Can't make it fit.

Well done.

That's of course the coastline around Penzance one can see in the distance. N.coast a similar distance in the other direction.

Interesting place... Chysauster Ancient Village | English Heritage

It is a Mersey class lifeboat which would narrow the search down a bit.

Seahouses is the right answer. Saw the lifeboat being lifted out the other day.

Wish I'd seen this yesterday!

Seeing the Seashouses lifeboat go out is fun.

Tourist Tony · « **Reply #3038 on:** 11 August, 2010, 06:48:30 pm »

I wasn't that far out, lol!

Jurek · « **Reply #3039 on:** 11 August, 2010, 07:21:51 pm »

Not very far at all, TT

Here's one from an earlier holibob

Brecon and Monmouth Canal, Talybont.

Jurek · « **Reply #3041 on:** 11 August, 2010, 07:32:38 pm »

Gah!

I'll bet you're familiar with the corrugated iron scout / outdoor activities centre just across the canal.

Tim Hall · « **Reply #3042 on:** 11 August, 2010, 08:12:49 pm »

Don't think I am. I've cycled past the bridge a ferw times while staying at Cantref Bunkhouse. V nice it is too. More familiar with the pub in Talybont and the one in Pencelli. Re-hydration is vital on such expeditions, I'm sure you agree.

Anyway, where's this:

Gosh!

Balmoral? (wild guess, never been there myself)

We go past it most weeks

Grantchester, presumably?

" Deep meadows yet, for to forget
The lies, and truths, and pain? . . . oh! yet
Stands the Church clock at ten to three?
And is there honey still for tea?"

Literary, me!

Was that the right answer, then?

Tim Hall · « **Reply #3049 on:** 11 August, 2010, 08:48:48 pm »

Certainly was. We went past there on a tandem club weekend, having taken tea at The Orchard tea rooms.
