and there was time to pop into Fowey

I didn't get to see much of Fowey last August when I called in (you can read about my trip here:   http://arwensmeanderings.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/before-i-start-my-description-of-my.html  and then use the right hand side menu to access the other two blogs about the trip).

So it was quite nice to be able to walk the streets and quayside on Wednesday afternoon. Looking across to my former mooring and towards Polruan gave me a different perspective on Fowey

At first I was fascinated by doorways...............


and steps.......


and then both..............


but eventually we reached the shoreline


looking upriver to the harbour master office pontoons

Ah! quite creative I thought




a trent class life boat which came on station in 1996


I'll take both please - the cottage and the boat in front of it


the inshore lifeboat


the china clay wharves further upstream (how do they get those clay carriers through the moorings; and how do they turn them around again)?


ah - the all important shot of the public slipway at low tide

    You're in luck, I think the house owners also own the boat - so you can buy them as a job lot!!

    By the way your boat would easily get up to Lostwithiel for a couple of hours on the top of a decent tide.
