Great shot DA.    That boat owner needs to get out the brushes and pressure washer.  Sad to see a boat in such neglected condition.

What a mess. You would think his first priority would be to give it a darned good clean.

But I still float.

She'd need a proper wash alright.

I wondered if it was a wreck he had found.

He may have just collected it from the marsh land.

You're giving him the benefit of the doubt?

I’m sure one day that will happen.  But not soon.

Well in that state there’s better wrecks out there.

Now that is an interesting thought.  What are the UK laws regarding finding abandoned boats?

Good Shoot

Lol.   I’ve been collecting wrecks for a project.


I had a trip planned for Tuesday to an old atomic test site but on checking the footpaths I’ve discovered the national trust closed off the land and charge £15 for entry and there’s no tickets left for the ferry.

Money talks. Or not, in this case.

I would pay but there’s no tickets left for the ferry tomorrow.   And timings mess up the bribe for SHMBO’d for chips.   And not to mention the national trust drone rules.

A range of complications.

From what I saw when I looked it up you have to go to court and get permission to claim it.  There is a lengthy process.

Heading north today for a little day trip,   was planning on going to an old ww2 atomic research site but just found out last night that the route I thought we could walk to get there is closed and you have to pay for entry and a ferry trip that has to be booked two weeks in advance,  so other plans afoot now.

Hope your alternate trip worked out well.  

Absolutely true!

Nice capture btw.
I hope they give him a good wash soon.

We stopped at the ferry point to take a look around,  Orford is quite a pretty village.    If if hadnt been for the wind I would have been tempted to walk around the sea wall a little way and send the drone in as it wasnt very far.  they call it a ferry but its only 300ft of water.

Money talked once for them thats for sure.    Although have you seen the price of a new caravan lately?

I hope so too.

DowntownRDB Posted at 5-23 02:48

We visited a few places but sadly it was windy,   35mph pretty constant until we got home.   I stopped but the atomic test site to see how the ferry worked, and parking etc and realised the ferry only crossing 300ft of water. So if the wind had been normal I probably would have walked down the sea wall a little way and then sent up the drone but alas the weather was not good for that.

It seems like bad boatkeeping.

Sounds like it could be an interesting place to return to on a good weather day.

You could have swum that far !

Our caravanning days are over. (Towed or Static, we've done both in the past)  Home comforts are a priority these days. B&B or  hotel are the only options.

We passed a caravan sales places coming through Norfolk on our little trip and a small (car length) caravan was £31k - No idea of the specs etc but not huge,  and they had near on a hundred of them in stock.

I would have send the drone in for a closer look if it hadnt been for the wind.   

The place looked like it should have been in the desert in America,   the building were very out of place.

Its now on the list for sure,    the buildings that remained looked like they should have been part of the Manhattan project.

There's a similar place in the next valley - does motorhomes as well.

Your drone might come back  irradiated

We pass a big motor home place going to the mil but I’ve never stopped to look at prices.

Well at least it would be clean.    Apparently the place was a secret but you can see it from the town.

You could buy a real house (up here, at least) for the price of some of the bigger ones.

Wow, that truly is an interesting location.  That's definitely a "go to" place to see.

Like the Nantwich Secret Nuclear Bunker - everyone local knows where it is
