Davie, that’s two utterly crackingly beautiful pictures you've posted up there... Makes one really wish to travel to Scotland...daviemck2006 wrote:It is Neil. It's one of the best beaches in this area. I was born 2 miles along the coast in a tiny village with another cracking beach![]()
The French did close some lines but at least they built a lot of new ones fit for the 21st Century and beyond which is somewhat more that the half-hearted and flawed attempts the UK have made (with one or two exceptions) to try and modernise our railways...Gibbo2286 wrote:That Monsieur Beeching got around a bit didn't he.
And they probably all dropped oil! Us kids used to earn pocket money digging and pushing them out in a hurry as the tide was coming in. I have seen some stuck and abandoned and flooded lol. Never ours though, even when we moved from that house and we went back to the beach dad didn't take the car down. He had seen far too many getting stuck!NewcastleFalcon wrote:...and the one with the cars on the beach....a wonderful image......who needs car parks! but maybe that was the source of North Sea oil....bet none of those cars had an undertray!

I recall going over it soon after it opened... Many did, just for the novelty of it...
