| Level Crossing in Dieppe |
as the level crossing comes down the bridge swings around. A few years ago you often saw lads jumping on at the last minute and going around with the bridge....they've put a stop to that now, pity, it looked like fun.
Sometimes the boat coming through is huge and is on its way through to the back port for unloading, in the last few years that seems to be mainly the huge fins and posts for the Aeoliennes or wind turbines...
in the old days it was Bananas, but I suppose they are all flown nowadays.
Sometimes when the tide is high the bridge has to swing for tiny boats too....nightmare if you're late for the ferry!
I think its still is boats for bananas....I heard that somewhere....
ReplyDeleteOh good....sadly not for Dieppe though. 40% of the worlds bananas used to go through Dieppe...with Ffyes, remember them? No longer though.
ReplyDeleteyes you are right.. Once I had experienced this kind of stoppage at level crossing in Dieppe. For small boats and ferries, the bridge swings around.
