Even better to hire a rowing boat and just go for it. Take bikes for the Welsh bit.

So tell me Mr. Stubsy, if you start today in this coracle when do you expect to hit Swansea ?

Well, boyo, if I catch the Severn bore, see, I could be in Swansea by nightfall.

Mind you, I could end up in Bridgnorth.

 

Anyway, who's got me paddle?

In which case, the SVR awaits.

It's a bit to far from East Norfolk.

[St Enodoc]

It's a bit to far from East Norfolk.

It's a bit too far from New South Wales to Old South Wales as well I'm afraid.

I'd rather do that journey than the one from Norfolk

There may actually be a precedent for this!  The Cornish legend of St Piran (Perranporth is named after him) claims that he arrived from Ireland, where coracles were also used, floating miraculously on a stone.  That sounds like a possible coracle to me, looking perhaps a bit like a stone to the locals when it was upturned on the beach.  Sea going Irish coracles are recorded by St Patrick, who is alleged to have come from the village of Banwen, near Neath.

 

Reality is much weirder than imagination.

Going to try to go this year. I'm close enough in Llanelli.

 

Are there any other exhibitions in south wales?

No couplings in 'ere...

Who's the bloke with the lamp Stubby? He looks a little glum to say the least. I would even go so far as p####d off with his lot in life.

 

Hope he feels better soon. Lol

 

All the best Steve

[Stubby47]

Probably because I've added a little bulk to him...

The Memsahib retired early this evening and left me in charge of the side board......which happens to be roughly the same size as Bleat Wharf....

Another view of the side board.

 

 

There seems to be a lot of track but most of it will be inlaid so this will reduce the 'busy'look of it all.

Building wise, I think that is about it. I have reduced the number I had originally as it was a bit cluttered by my standards. Still looks a bit Clapham junction..

 

Top right, I may extend the siding behind the old barn. This could lead to an 'off stage' industry of sorts and give credibility to a Pesky Peckett worrying a wagon or two.

 

The area between the front of the Nissen huts and the workshops will be a concrete'hard stand'. A bit grassy and chipped. The same in front of the work shop to the track with a lightweight over head crane in front of the main doors.

 

 

I may also mess around with siding lengths to avert any potential for uniformity.

Bit heavy to cart round to exhibitions though Rob, surely lighter supports are available.....?

[Northroader]

There’s drinks and glasses in it, so it’s a corporate hospitality suite as well.

[KNP]

It can hold your nick naks as well!

[The Johnster]

Eh!  Careful now; I am very fussy about who holds my nick naks, well, until I've had a couple of beers anyways...

Amazing, Rob.

 

In the time you've taken to build at least two layouts that I am aware of and advance the planning of another to this extent, I have barely begun one!

 

But I've drunk a lot of coffee and done a fair bit of thinking in that time, so that must equal it out.

[Northroader]

But cap’n, there’s no sideboard on your lugger.

Thanks CK. I have one more in mind after Bleat Wharf, Lamb Regis itself and that will do....for now.

 

I am hoping to buy the baseboards next month and get started on the track laying soon after.
