Skinningrove Jetty

Report from David Asprey on Tugtalk this afternoon.

"AFON MENAI in North Sea, Dover for Skinningrove, apparently with tow"

Anyone available for photos??

FLUVIUS TAW and VISNES, both recently in Alex dock Hull now both anchored off Skinningrove - sea defence restoration works in progress.

View from Skinningrove on Monday ... AFON GOCH and I think maybe one other tug hiding among the 2 barges.

There did not seem to be any sign of sea defence work at Skinningrove and this flotilla seems to stay well out at sea, where exactly is all the stone going to?
I thought perhaps they might be reinforcing round the tip of Hunt Cliff to help to preserve the railway which is precariously near the edge if you look on Google Earth.

I see what you mean about the Railway, George.

I'm old enough to remember having gone round there on a passenger train .... gosh, a near escape from death!!

Is there another tug working here, or just the AFON GOCH?

[shipbroker]

BBC North East had a shoot on Saltburn front last evening and you could see a barge/tug out past Huntcliffe...
