I`ve heard tell of a place known as Shag harbour! Really? - Can anyone tell me how to get there as I`ve recently split up with my girlfriend?

Welcome to the forum, skinbath.
Shag Harbor is in Nova Scotia, I think. Isn't it famous for a alleged UFO crash?

Don't travel too hopefully: the "shag" part probably refers to those relatives of the cormorant...

It looks like Al and I were both correct. Shag Harbor is named after a bird of the cormorant family, it is located in Nova Scotia, and it is the site of an alleged UFO crash on October 4, 1967 (the tenth anniversary of Sputnik). You can read about it here: ufocasebook.com/Shagharbor.html

Many Thanks for your help and direction. I wonder if I may enlist further help.I`m trying to find a site that may provide photo`s,pic`s or film of any Russian missions or am I being naive here.I have tried several avenues only to find them to be cul-de-sacs.A few pointers would be helpful.

Just check your bookings carefully before you pay.
I heard that an English couple decided to go on holiday to Sydney, but didn't read their tickets carefully when they booked on-line.
They ended up in Sydney, Nova Scotia, rather than their intended destination (and somewhat warmer at the time of the year they travelled) Sydney, New South Wales. :-)
