Though that I’d just pop this one in…
I’ve been asked to produce a panoramic view of the Worms Head when the tide is out. This is to assist fellow NCI (National Coastwatch Institution) members when approached by members of the public reporting an incident. “Over there” is not a great deal of help to a rescue team or helicopter crew. Once I have completed the exercise, and produced a large print to be hung up in the lookout station, I will put something on this site also, with the named sections of the worms Head identified on the photograph.
As a post script, I think that I’m going to start collecting “silly questions” that NCI staff are asked. This first one I was asked – maybe I shouldn’t identify the nationality of the questioners, but I think that it is fair to say that this first person lived in virtual desert surroundings, so they might be forgiven…
“Where does the sea go when the tide goes out?” .
From a British adult, pointing to the Worm, “Is that the Isle of Man”.
From a child, also pointing to the Worm, Is that Spain?.
