      Morning Jeff great selection of photos mate I do vaguely recall the tragedy of that lifeboat crew, thanks for that, probably wrong but the mark at the bottom of the post could be a masons mark 🙄 ….. Pete 🇫🇷

      This is such a fun and interesting series 😁 I remember the going down of the Penlee lifeboat, it was all over the news and put Mousehole on the map in the worst most tragic way. Lifeboats are a lot safer these days and they haven't lost a crew since.
      No irreverent photo from Steve this week 🥺

      Some great photos of unusual spots yet again, I can't understand why this series doesn't grab people's attention more. What's not to like we get the usual gateways, a natter from yourself, some lovely looking bikes, some unusual landmarks and a bit of history.

      Funnily enough, just editing a video with that same carved arrow but I don't know what it is. Maybe, based upon it's location, some indication that the jam and cream order needs to change? 😀
      I've visited the Thunderbird a few times. Great installation but not being maintained unfortunately.
      RAF Fylingdales still exists but the gold ball radomes have been replaced with a different building now.
      Some great photos there. Really enjoying this challenge.

      Some cracking bikes and backdrops photos there, SB. I guess I'll have to get off my arse and go find something a tad better than an old coaching stop.
      Such a sad story about the Penlee crew. Just volunteers trying to help others. They all deserve gallantry medals.

      Wosson Sbagsy boy? Thanks muchness for indulging me with the tank pic my friend, and as we all know it's not about the size of your maypole, its how many ladies you can get to cavort around it ! Geddon Pard and DFD.

      That's spooky. I was only thinking today about nearly buying a Moto Guzzi Monza in 1982 and here you are with David's pic of his. His helmet even looks like the AGV I got that year to go with the T140 I bought instead.

      located on google maps – where you turned around at the top of angel steps/stairs ,, the house was another colour and the all important gate has been changed to a galvy metal one ,,,, how about that for life changing news ;;;; the smiley face gateway at the end looks hilarious with the bush behind acting as a hairstyle ;;;;

    20. @simongilbert2704 on

      the boat that the penlee crew went to rescue had turned down earlier help due to cost – as far as i can remember , no insult meant here , correct me if i am wrong , the crew went out in horrendous conditions knowing the possible outcome ,, not for the faint hearted ,,, very very brave ;;

      Tis 'ansome those pics! I particularly enjoyed the Fylingdales one (not flyingdales BTW) as that was a milestone we passed when as a family we travelled to Yorkshire to visit my Grandparents in Whitby. The Golfballs as they were called are gone, but I think the base is still there!

      The lifeboats are crewed by volunteers, all members of the local community. To lose so many must've been devastating.

      Great bikes and backdrops
