An uneventful 3.5 hour ferry crossing saw us in Rosslare at 16:30. The 50 mile drive to Tramore via Waterford brought back a few memories, particularly central Waterford. Both Tramore and Waterford have expanded dramatically since our last visit about 12 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are staying on Newtown Cove Caravan Park, a short walk from Newtown Cove. Alan\u2019s family will remember an incident at that cove 50+ years ago when a lady swimmer asked us if we had seen her dentures. She had lost them whilst swimming earlier in the day and she was hopeful our fishing tackle may have snagged them! She went away disappointed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We walked to the hidden fishing spot which was discovered by Alan\u2019s father when he lived in Tramore during the 1940s. The fishing mark is difficult to get to as it entails climbing\/sliding down some near vertical cliff. Whilst there today we noticed a lot of bait fish being harassed in the bay – probably by marauding mackerel. We will try to collect some prawns tomorrow and fish the mark tomorrow afternoon. Must remember the rope and climbing boots\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
