The weekend was spent in Wales and was absolutely fantastic!

The transporter crossing into Newport in Wales! In order to allow tall ships to
go up the river there is a transporter (1 of 5 in the world) which just moves 2
vehicles at a time across the river, leaving a very high space for ships to pass
through.

These pictures are all from Bristol Channel with limestone cliffs. It was
absolutely beautiful! British Channel is where the River Severn ends and
it eventually empties into the Irish Sea and then the Atlantic Ocean.
