A tourist's guide to Pitcairn Island Last Updated: 10:36AM BST 12/09/2009 Here are some of the unusual attractions offered by the remote South Pacific island. Wreck of the Bounty The remains of the ship lie in just three metres of water below Bounty Bay, where it was burned by the mutineers in 1790. Tourists can dive onto it. Another wreck, the SS Cornwallis, can also be explored. Adamstown The only settlement. It contains a post office, church, courthouse, library, health centre, acupuncturist and hairdresser. Power is provided by three generators, which operate for five hours in the morning and five hours in the evening. Bells in the main square are used to make public announcements. A series of strikes in ones and twos is the call for prayer, three strikes signifies public work, four strikes is the signal for a share-out of food from a passing ship and five strikes announces the arrival of a ship. Hill of Difficulty The steep slope up which visitors must travel after arriving in Bounty Bay, following in the footsteps of the mutineers. Museum Opened in Adamstown in 2005, it contains the original bible from the Bounty. A four metre anchor from the ship is mounted in the square outside the courthouse. A Bounty canon is also on display nearby. Fletcher Christian's Cave On a ridge west of Adamstown is a cave in which Fletcher Christian stayed during an early periods of upheaval on the island. He is said to have later been killed by another islander. Lagoons The uninhabited islands of Ducie and Oeno, which also form part of the same Overseas Territory, have large central lagoons. Whirlpools in the Ducie lagoon are caused by tunnels that drain it to the sea. The lagoon is deep and noted for its poisonous fish and dangerous sharks. Birdwatching The islands are home to thousands of birds, including several rare species, including, the Henderson crake, Henderson fruit-dove, Henderson lorikeet, Henderson petrel, Henderson reed-warbler, Phoenix petrel and Pitcairn reed-warbler. Fishing Pitcairn's waters are full of fish. Local boats are available for trips, or visitors can fish from the rocks. Whale watching Humpbacks and pilot whales can be spotted from the shore as they breach in the waters just off the coast. Eating out There is one café on Pitcairn, called Christian's Café. It opens every Friday. There is also a takeaway, open on Wednesdays, and two bakeries. All visitors will also need an alcohol license before their arrival, if they wish to drink. These cost £40 and are valid for six months. John Adams' Grave Known as the Patriarch of Pitcairn, John Adams outlived the other Bounty mutineers and played a key role in restoring stability to the community after its early period of bloodshed. Bang on iron A place on the northeast coast road where, under an overhanging rock, the mutineers set up their forge. Another unusually-named spot is "Where Reynolds Cut The Firewood", a place where the captain of a ship visiting the island came ashore for firewood. Bernice Christian Memorial Park A sports area with facilities for tennis, volleyball, rounders, cricket and longball. Down Rope A steep cliff, at the bottom of which is a popular picnic area and Pitcairn's only beach. Eco-trail Includes all of the island's 11 endemic plant species, as well as other rare flora and fauna. Tautama Well-preserved remains of stone age settlements from the island's earlier inhabitants. There are also the remains of a prehistoric altar at Tedside, where human sacrifices are understood to have been made. Goathouse Peak The 1,1138 ft highest point on Pitcairn. Little George Coc'nuts A valley located in the south west of Pitcairn. It was a coconut grove owned by George Young, son of mutineer Ned Young. No Guts Captain The burial site of a captain from an early visiting ship who requested before death that he not be buried at sea. Pitcairn was the next landfall and he was buried there. Coast Pitcairn is surrounded by a treacherous – but stunning – coastline with locations whose names evoke the island's history. Among the sites for tourists to visit are several where inhabitants have suffered accidents, including "Where Dan Fall", "Where Freddie Fall", "Where Minnie Off" and "Where Tom Off". Others include "Timiti's Crack", where a Tahitian fell to his death, and "Down the God", where heathen idols were found and cast into the sea. Rocks off the shore include Big George Rock, Bitey-Bitey and Bop Bop. An area of the southern coast is called Ugly Name Side. The origin of the name is unknown. Nearby is a point simply called "Oh Dear". What they haven't mentioned are places such as " Rape daughter cove" " Beat and Fuck the Kids Beach"

My Grandfather(paternal) was a miner from Washington. My Dad has an audio cassette recorded in the early 70s of him bollocking me and my brother for not eating our tea when I was about 5. He spoke with the strongest Pitmatic dialect going, full of "Thee, Thew and Thou",my Mam struggled to understand him. What's curious is that on the tape, both me and my brother clearly understand every word he says, however , listening to it now I can barely understand him.

fluent Burble-ese.

This is a topic I find fascinating( and the related one of place name origins). Sure I heard/read somewhere that our dialect/language is the closest to Old English as it was spoken. The area is riddled with "-ingtons, and -ingworths", all meaning the same thing e.g. Killingworth- kill= Killa( name of chieftain/leader) ing= people of worth/ton= village or settlement so Killingworth is the village of Killa's people, Also in the Lakes, the name Thwaite is prevalent, meaning the same- settlement. I think in the Lakes it comes from Norse, whereas Ashington etc is Saxon anyone more ITK please correct me

Duck.

Don't forget to have the Ho's money. Happy hunting
