The Barry Whale

A 33 foot long minky whale got washed ashore onto rocks at The Knap today - some say it died yesterday, some a couple of weeks ago. It was the biggest thing to happen in Barry since Wetherspoons opened ... a landmark day then! :>)

I got there early evening just as they got it off the rocks at high tide and brought it to shore ... I'd avoid tun...a sarnies locally for a few days if I were you!

The last time such a large whale got washed ashore in South Wales was in Aberthaw when I was a kid ... I was there too. There is no link, honest.
