Swanage at its best.

Anyone looking out the window this morning will see a damp misty view.

So let's whizz back to Saturday morning and have some sunshine.





Remember in an Maritime Emergency, on the beach , cliffs and out to sea - call the Coastguard.

999 or VHF Radio

Swanage Bay and Peveril

A couple of photos from Monday.

A little different 24 hours on

A little different today !

Swanage Coastguard in the past - the Christmas challenge.

This photo turned up this week thanks to Pete Wakefield a team member from a few years ago.

Basically who, what, where and when is then question over Christmas.
(Sadly we don't actually have the answers yet)

I think this is the LSA men - volunteers like we are today.

Their equipment is in the cart behind them which was kept at Peveril.

They are on the Downs, with us looking North across to Ballard.

1920's ?

Can you add names to the picture? On the back of the photo is a name of Tom Langtry.
It is not Eric or Tom in the front row before anyone says - they joined a couple of years after this photo was taken.

Changing view

You go on holiday, come home and someone has taken the beach huts away!

Shore Road is looking different and will do for a whilst stabilisation work and new huts are built.

This area has in the past been important to the team during carnival week, being the forward operating tea stop.

Welcome to Swanage

New signs are appearing in the car parks of Swanage promoting various things in and around the town. I'm pleased to say the Coastguard station is shown in its North Beach location as often on maps we are still shown at Peveril Point. (or missed out !!!)

Well done Swanage

April or August?
I hope this isn't our summer right now? Anyway it was really good to see Swanage so busy, loads of people on the beach and in the town (hopefully spending a little to benefit the local shop owners?)

On the Coastguard front, I'm pleased to say we had no call outs.

So to all the visitors, thanks for coming to the town, hope you enjoyed it and why not spend a few days here later in the season?

Visit the hospitality association web site to see some great places to stay.
