    Thats the one Paul.

    Jackie, thanks for your comments. It was an interesting and enjoyable job and as I had just left the M.N. it kept me in touch with the sea. The downside was that with it being tidal work we had to be there all times of the day and night and as I don't drive and live in Whitfield I couldn't rely on public transport.

    I did what Mr. Tebbitt suggested and bought myself a bike. It was alright getting down there as it was all down hill, I could do Whitfield to the Dockhead in 15 minutes in the middle of the night with no traffic about but coming back was a different matter. I managed to get as far as those houses on the left on Whitfield hill and had to dismount and walk to the top of the hill. The quickest time I did coming home was about 40 minutes. I was 55 years of age and found it a bit of an effort to say the least as I hadn't ridden a bike since my teens.
