Mainly because it's a challenge, a challenge for me, it's a challenge for the coracle, and because it has been done before - Unofficially

So @GeraintPillock I assume this has never been done before and that is the reason why you are doing this?

"Very optimistic, I will do it, but you're talking about a long time but I will do it. I hope to do it the first time."

[LookOut Wales @HughPugh]

Twelve and fifty hours? Very Impressive, and I assume @GeraintPillock that you anticipate seeing these humpback whales in that time?

[Geraint Pillock @GeraintPillock]

"Anything from between twelve and fifty hours."

[LookOut Wales @HughPugh]

@GeraintPillock In your quest as a modern-day Captain Ahab in Cardigan Bay, just how long do you expect to be out at sea in your coracle?

[Geraint Pillock @GeraintPillock]

"Mainly because it's a challenge, a challenge for me, it's a challenge for the coracle and again it's a personal challenge"

[LookOut Wales @HughPugh]

They are big, grey and splash about in the water. No, we’re not talking about the Fishguard WI swimming club, but humpback whales have been seen off the coast of Fishguard. I spoke to the only person to brave the ocean and track them down. @GeraintPillock, why are you doing this?

[Geraint Pillock @GeraintPillock]

"Thing is it could be very dangerous. On the other hand, it could be all right."

[LookOut Wales @HughPugh]

@GeraintPillock It’s one thing to paddle your coracle down the river Teifi, but isn’t it a little bit dangerous out in the high sea getting close to a 44-ton humpback whale?

[Geraint Pillock @GeraintPillock]

[Barry Welsh @BarryWelshHTV]

@GeraintPillock Well, I can see that businesses and the Welsh Government are excited, and the know-how is there, but just as reminder to your followers, just why you are doing this?

[Geraint Pillock @GeraintPillock]

@BarryWelshHTV "Very optimistic, I will do it, but you're talking about a long time but I will do it. I hope to do it the first time."

@BarryWelshHTV "Very optimistic, I will do it, but you're talking about a long time but I will do it. I hope to do it the first time."

[Barry Welsh @BarryWelshHTV]

@GeraintPillock And naturally you’re very hopeful that you’ll get your coracle to launch a rocket into space?

[Geraint Pillock @GeraintPillock]

@BarryWelshHTV "Thing is it could be very dangerous. On the other hand, it could be all right."

[Barry Welsh @BarryWelshHTV]

@GeraintPillock Just thinking, A 400-ton rocket attached to your coracle with more explosive power than a nuclear bomb when it launches, will you be safe?

[Geraint Pillock @GeraintPillock]

@BarryWelshHTV "It could take anything from between twelve and fifty hours."

[Barry Welsh @BarryWelshHTV]

@GeraintPillock I see that the plan is to attach a 400-ton rocket to your coracle and launch it from St Dogmaels How long will it take to get into orbit?

[Barry Welsh @BarryWelshHTV]

Could Port Talbot become a centre for space technology in Wales? Probably not. Though we know of one man who is well placed to become an innovator in this sector. @GeraintPillock, why do you want to launch rockets into space from your coracle?

[Geraint Pillock @GeraintPillock]

@BarryWelshHTV "Mainly because it's a challenge. It's a challenge for me, it's a challenge for the coracle and again it's a personal challenge, and because it has been done before..."

[Barry Welsh @BarryWelshHTV]

@GeraintPillock Indeed, but just what is it that makes you want to explore the edge of space in a coracle?
