look up on neo magnets, you can get some very powerful ones. Not a toy and can cause serious injurys. The larger ones have to be specially packed to be sent by post.

Those bikes looked tied on, that magnet wouldn't have held it surely?
It was once said that the Devil would never dare to cross the River Tamar into Cornwall for fear of ending up as a filling in a Cornish Pasty.

I agree, that is tied on. In fact I reckon they are putting bikes in and tying them to the side and then pulling them out sometime later.

At one point he tries to use another magnet to lift the bike and fails miserably and resorts to lifting it out himself.

Think all you would catch on the river mudway is shopping trolleys....but sooner than get a minging one out of the river, I would sooner get one from tesco....they only cost £1....Bargain!
Check out the index thread below where pics/reviews from all our past meets can be found!!!!
click here for the SE Events Index/links Thread...see all the reviews and whats coming up soon!

Looks like I'm in trouble with the Mrs's again...
She asked me what I'd most like to do to her body...
Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!

:) Hi Greg,
Your probably right ,how about Chatham Docks there could be some interesting finds from all those years of shipbuilding?
All the bits of metal that used to be scattered on the beach here have gone now. At what point do things become archeological?
