Fairly bright but pretty cold up here today. Occasional showers of sleet, interspersed with nice sunny intervals. You only experience the warmth of the sun behind glass.
Down in Devon, people think they are having a field day beach combing on Branscombe Bay, near Sidmouth. It is there that the stricken container ship Napoli lies stranded, and some 200 of its containers have floated ashore. Its contents now lie strewn along the coastline, varying from BMW motorbikes to clothes to battery acid. The Receiver of Wrecks reminds people that anything washed ashore is the property of those that lost it, and he who collects items from the beaches should report it or face prosecution.
Fuel oil from the vessel is leaking into the sea and is affecting wildlife.
The 18 people shortlisted for life in Canna have until today to submit their business plan for making a living there. The thing is that the small island has no roads and no mains infrastructure of any description. You have to do it all yourself.
In the Cairngorms, two men were helped down from the mountain Lochnagar, near Braemar, after spending the night on the summit in freezing conditions. They had become disoriented and had shared a bivvy bag to keep out the cold. The two, aged 26 and 37, were otherwise unhurt.
