We spent our summer holiday at the Field study centre campsite last year and your blog always brings back memories of a lovely break in a special place.

To be honest, I'll rather miss the green light at night - all the lighthouses, beacons and buoys visible down the Sound now flash white.

It is only the south mark that has a long flash on the end to make it clear that it is not a west mark.<br />The top marks point towards each other which can be remembered easily as it looks a bit like a wine glass (sort of). W for West. The buoy is yellow black yellow. The top mark arrows point to the relative position of the black part ie in the middle. This all makes it easy to see what cardinal mark it is from a distance.<br />regards<br />JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885184849467086568.post-51784956835219315792016-04-22T22:32:21.710+01:002016-04-22T22:32:21.710+01:00I sometimes wish you had the facebook-style "...I sometimes wish you had the facebook-style "like" icon to click on when you put posts on like this; I have no sensible comments to make but would like you to know that they are read and enjoyed! littlegrebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603350992965640470noreply@blogger.com
