Great time yesterday, thanks as usual to Dave for organising.

Just one observation ......

Having checked the official width of a Chimaera, that sign in Port Issac is, quite frankly, boks.

Maximum Width 6 feet my ae.

The Chimaera is 1865mm inc mirrors, which I make just over 6 feet 1 inch.

That'll be a Cornish 6 feet.. Somewhere between 4 and about 12ish I should think. The Chim will quite happily go through the village, but it wil be tight on the way out towards Port Quinn and even more so if anyone is heading down that hill at the same time. Put it this way, the drey manages to deliver to the Golden Lion and thats a site bigger than 6 feet.

Reminds me, must take a drive through Port Isaac again sometime. Not heard my exhaust down those roads. Must wake the entire village..

[timelord]

6feet wide,pah!Iknow some narrower places in Cornwall.M-series reach the parts other tivs can't
