AnthonyG Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Superb fantasy engineeringshite!Given the wind/ice problems with the Severn Bridge, I wonder if it really was as feasible as the rather enthuiastic author reckons though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

face Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 I love the way you could have travelled to one of the islands and mingle with French people coming the other way, although as far as the authorities were concerned nobody had left their countries due to the single customs check method Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owain-328i Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Some more cross-channel shite for your enjoyment gentlemen; 'ARMORIQUE' - apparantly decomissioned in 1994.
