Photo courtesy of the 3100 team RNAS Culdrose.

The torch has been delivered to RNAS Culdrose courtesy of British Airways and the Olympic liveried plane.  David Beckham was on hand to do the honours and light the torch inreadiness for the short journey to Land's End and the off early tomorrow morning at 7am. This photo was taken by the boys from 771 Squadron, three of whom make up the 3100 team who currently preparing for their epic 3100 miles cycle dash across the Unites States of America!


The torch will be carried into Newlyn along Newlyn Combe and then turn left over the bridge before heading off along the prom. Why not head on over to the Mission for tea, coffee and breakfast afterwards?

Identify this fish!

Trawled up by the Crystal Sea II, this deep water fish needs a name. The boat was fishing about 50 miles south west of the Scillies in 70 fathoms of water. When the fish first appeared out of the cod end it was quite a strong blue colour. Answers on a postcard, or even better email or add a comment at the foot of the post if you have any idea what this tubby looking chap is.


And there was me thinking that identifying the above as Schedophilus medusophagus - a Cornish Blackfish - was just ironic! We live and learn. So that's what was in the well.

Rock Oyster Festival - June 22nd to June 24th.

Will the Bees, the best band bar none hailing from the Isle of Wight, yes, the isle of Wight - home to the famous Bembridge Ledges, bring down the house on the music stage and put the Rock in this year's Rock Oyster  Festival?.........

Les Pauls, a Hammond C3 and Lesley Horn cabinet - the boys can't go wrong!

To find out more about this feast of fish, fun and sounds check out the really rather excellent Rock Oyster Festival web site - if the festival is half as good as the web site then it should be a good time for all!
