lightengine Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Is this the real reason that CK has been too busy to post photos? This boat ran aground on Shaldon beach. No doubt CK and his orange army soon ran lines to it and got it afloat again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted April 1, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2014 Patience please, he furnishes us with info as and when he can. Sorry about the delay with the photos, folks. I was going to put them up on Sunday night, but was too knackered, then on Monday morning I managed to pull my back when getting ready to go to work (don't ask, it's the simple things that tend to do it!), so I've been laid up until now, resting it. I've logged on at home today for work. I will put my photos from the Sunday plain line relaying site at Smugglers up later on this evening, if I can sit comfortably for long enough! Certainly as regards some of the points raised in the last couple of days, the Smugglers relay was delayed (should have been finished Monday lunchtime, instead finished today), due to further falls from the adjacent cliffs and the need to make this safe and install temporary fencing to protect the track workers. Having seen it firsthand, I don't think that huge amounts would have come down now, but they were rightly playing it safe. The delay in completing the track relaying will have absolutely no effect on the reopening on Friday morning. Dawlish station has now been officially handed back to FGW, by the way. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted April 1, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2014 Bearing in mind Somerset was closed much earlier than Dawlish was, I think the Cap'n may not be so welcome there. He had no whirly, buzzy, spidery, pumping thingies and allowed the Dutch to get in there with their massive 'blast the opposite banks away' pumps. In fact, the main breach at Dawlish washed out on 5th February, and the main line between Cogload Jct and Bridgwater closed (due to the flooding on the adjacent Levels) on Saturday 8th February. Full, normal signalling etc. should be restored over that section in just over a week, although we are only talking past one signal in each direction at the moment... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightengine Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Good job it didn't run aground in the county a few miles west as it would be stripped down to the spars by now... It would have made a great breakwater for the sea wall at Dawlish, beached there. The Poles would have had it loaded into the back of a lorry and off back to the homeland for scrap in no time. (of course this does not imply all Poles are metal thieves. And of course other nationalities are available as metal thieves also.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightengine Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Back injury due to lifting man size pasties, King size Mars bars, huge tubs of ballast glue and no doubt weighed down with the weight of his growing fame.
