The King Harry Ferry is almost loaded and ready to sail the short distance across the River Fal at Trelissick. The drivers of the motley collection of vehicles will be grateful that the ferry is running as it saves a long and slow alternative journey of twenty-eight miles via Truro. The smoking and newspaper-reading driver of the Bedford TK will face quite a challenge when he disembarks the ferry with a very steep climb from the estuary requiring every bit of his truck's meagre 72bhp! The Morris Ital next to the truck will not do much better one suspects!
