点评: What a superb crossing we had today from Shaldon to Teignmouth; it was brilliant!
The ferry comes right up onto the beach at Shaldon and it is a wonderful way to cross the water...saving a very long walk!
Depending on the tide, depends on how much beach you need to walk over to access the boat gang way. The crew are really attentive and helpful, however I would recommend that if you are doddery on your legs that perhaps this crossing isn't for you.
At Shaldon, you wait for the ferry on the beach - there's a large sandwich board noting the stop. If it's raining, there is a covered shelter above the beach.
When we crossed, the tide was on the turn so there wasn't much beach to walk on. But I could imagine that you could have quite a sandy walk to get the ferry when the tide is out.
Once you are on the boat you pay a cash fare. Today we paid £2.50 each which is absolutely worth it for the historical sailing alone in my opinion.
We docked on the RNLI slipway at Teignmouth and were helped down the gang way by the very attentive crew.
All in all a fantastic experience!
翻译:今天我们从沙尔登到廷茅斯的渡轮之旅真是太棒了!
渡轮直接停靠在沙尔登的海滩上,这是一种很棒的渡海方式……省去了很长的步行路程!
根据潮汐情况,你需要走多远才能到达码头。船员们非常细心周到,乐于助人。不过,如果你腿脚不便,我建议你不要选择这条渡轮路线。
在沙尔登,你需要在海滩上等渡轮——那里有一块很大的广告牌,上面写着停靠站。如果下雨,海滩上有一个带顶棚的避雨棚。
我们过河的时候,正值涨潮,所以海滩上没什么可走的。但我可以想象,退潮后,你需要走一段很长的沙滩才能到达渡轮。
上船后,你需要支付现金船费。今天我们每人花了2.50英镑,但就我个人而言,这趟历史性的航行绝对物超所值。
我们停靠在廷茅斯的RNLI船台上,非常细心的船员们帮助我们走下舷梯。
总而言之,这是一次非常棒的体验!
