During one night whilst we were re-finishing the blue hull paint, one of the local spuggies had an unfortunate encounter with one of the whalebacks ...

It certainly survived the encounter ... as we didn't find any remains even after a careful search !

bri[12] - Private Bridge / Pont Briwet

StoneRoad2013 has posted:

The rail / toll road bridge over the treath bach. This is due to be replaced shortly (by 2015 and will cost almost £20million).
.
Currently (dec 2012) the toll is 50p for cars, and this road route to Harlech is shorter than going via Maentwrog - unless you're in a 'bus or hgv.
.
.
Pont Briwet has stood since 1867 and was partially rebuilt in 1932 - it is grade II listed, and is very rare, but that has not stopped the decision to demolish it, the replacement will be concrete. I had been told that the old timber bridge - which is privately owned - would be retained as a path / cycleway. So much for CADW.

After a tremendous amount of "fun and games" the replacement rail part was opened in September 2014 and a further tremendous amount of effort and delays the road part opened on 13th July 2015.
In my opinion, both sides of the new bridge are modern, concrete eyesores. The fact that the listed bridge was destroyed, instead of becoming a foot and cycle path, makes me very cross. My info is that the footpath use would Not have over-stressed the old bridge ...

Ben is using his friend "Ozzy" as a pillow - actually a stuffed glove puppet of an otter, properly Oswald the Otter. Catching a quiet kip after a hard day keeping the workshop crew amused ... despite, or perhaps because, of his attachment to this toy, when you are feeling low, he will lend ozzie to you and come for a cuddle.

"Flying Dutchman" seen just outside Whitby. I think she is rigged as a topsail schooner here, rather than the two masted schooner rig she had a few years ago when I saw the TallShips at Hartlepool.

Stirling Hill Quarry Station. Date not known.

A group of convicts (ie those with prison sentences that included "hard labour") about to board the train that will return them to Peterhead Prison - with such short shadows, probably for their mid-day meal - just over two and a half miles away. In the foreground is a train on tipper waggons, loaded with the granite for further processing in the Admiralty Yard, next to the prison.
