Security Level Critical...Well not Here... Mate....




This MOLE was just having a rest and there on the ground was a newspaper Headline.....High Levels or Security in Place at all Ports , Railway Stations, Airports because of terrorist threats etc.......Well looking up this MOLE was pleased to see this in action as Two Lorries and a van were allowed to drive straight through the Pembroke Dock Dock Yard Gate the security person seemed not to get off his chair....So when things get back to normal...they won't need to have this high level of SECURITY...maybe he/she will get a bed....................

Where have all the Gates gone. long time passing



Us MOLES are not known as defenders of your human heritage, but this MOLE has been getting concerned as to the proliferation of signs covering the Old Railway Gate into the Dockyard.....if this growth carries on will the whole of the wall become a graded and listed advertising hording.....come on Port Authority follow the rules and support the dock and take down the unsightly and apparently TEMPORARY signs and let the nice people of Pembroke Dock and their visitors see the gate in all its glory

Mine Hunter "Bombs"

This story tried to stay underground...But the MOLE unearthed it........ Don't tell anyone thought the secret service will skin me...Alive.... A few of weeks ago it seems the crew of HMS Atherstone made the headlines in Liverpool for finding a bomb........ Then she sailed off in all her glory to the next job here in the Haven.......So what you ask.......Well the MOLE can report that the higher you climb the further it is to fall......In this case HMS Atherstone was on her way to park beside the very smartly painted and presented RFA Sir Galahad on Carr Jetty....When opps...Bang...yep she rammed...well collided...well moored aggressively ....to the side of the said Sir Galahad.... Not perhaps a clanger, but maybe not the best behavior of an office and gentleman....So always be aware, fame can bite................and so can MOLES

Buoy....What a night....tilt


We MOLES are not all that keen on water, so we try not to get to close....But having been hanging about in the docks this mole had watched with interest the development of BUOY being constructed at great cost.........This mole not being a sailor is pleased to see that it is now being tested off Hobbs Point......But is it meant to flash lights or send out a radio beam......Or as in this case POINT in the direction you need to go........Who said sign posts were a thing of the past......Happy tunneling........ Hopefully in a STRAIGHT line

Panic in Pembroke Dock...Wild life scare

Being a very small MOLE the risk I took to get this story to you makes me a very brave MOLE......There was a twitter tearing round the dock about a great big bird causing undue panic amongst the sea gulls.......So off I burrowed to see what was what....And yes the cries of fear were justified.......Homing in on a flock of gulls in Front Street was this huge wild looking 4 legged "BUZZARD"...So birds beware, 'cos if this bird gets off the ground/sea we are all in trouble

One Can Short of a Paint Job

I did stick my head up to notice a new paint job on the Ferry. Great job boys and girls ... but what about the other side.... run out of paint did we? .....
