I could tell these guys werent tourists straight away..they kind of stuck out in the landscape and as a consequence always worth a look. So with binoculars in hand I am almost certain its Bill Fawcuss (DHB Bigwig) on the right and perhaps Tim Ingleton second from left ( DDC Bigwig).. however they were at such a distance that it even overstretched my considerable zoom...but I bet they are discussing the cable car!!!
Look at those arm gestures from Bill Fawcuss and wonder what else it could be. They are looking directly down over my head into the harbour. I suspect the others in the shot are English Heritage..and believe me, English Heritage are very serious about the Cable Car.
Okay...a lot of wild speculation there, but it may well be true. if only I had microphones to match the zoom.
