Saturday 15 August 2009

14:00 A day of sunny spells, gusty winds and torrential rain showers, 19 o C. Wind WSW 18mph. Humidity 77%. Pressure 1006mB. Visibility good. High tide today 18:50 7.47m.

Lock gates closed. A very windy day, difficult to keep my balance at times and almost impossible to hold the binoculars steady.


Ribble Steam are having a 'Friendly Engine' day today at the museum, with hourly train rides up to Strand Road. The engines are kitted out with smiley faces, though this one looks slightly sinister to me.



In and around the dock basin today
