Cornwall 1/2 Mill Chart Symbol



Any of you learned Cornish folk know what is the symbol on the 1/2 Mill Chart, to the north-west of Camborne, approx - N 50° 15’ W 005° 20’?

It looks like a racetrack with 3 x ‘shark fins’ inside it. It is not identified in the legend or in the notes. Much debate has gone on but we cannot figure it out.

I have discounted the proposed theory that it is a holding pattern for Great White Sharks as everyone knows Great White Sharks don’t go around in threes!!

It is multiple (ie 3) 'HANG/PARA GLIDING' launch sites.


(The answer's always in the key.)

Derrrrr!

Now I see it!! It's 3 x separate wings and NOT, as it looked to me at first through aged eyes, 1 x solid bar with 3 x shark fins on it.

Anyone know the number of my local Specsavers?????

Thank you Bravo73.................for pointing out yet another deficiency in my ageing, frail body!



Hat, Coat........woosh.......and slinks under very heavy, large stone...........never to re-emerge!
