Meeting an alien on the beach: Day 3 of Chris Jones’s 7,000-mile Round Britain walk

On his latest post about walking the entire coastline of Britain, Chris Jones talks of him finding this strange device on the beach. He writes: “A late start from Mablethorpe, I had a great night’s sleep thanks to Mark feeding, watering and bedding me down. We also met the guys from Louth in the local cafe for a fry up, it was raining so fully justifiable !!!

“It was wet and windy, nothing to do with the fry up! So, I had the beach to myself for most of the morning, miles and miles of open beach then, out of nowhere, this bell contraption right in the middle. I guess it rings when the tide comes in but no sign explaining it’s purpose… 

“The beach soon turned into marsh and the start of the Donna Nook bombing range, so I knew I’d have to head in land to box around. No red flags so the I guessed the RAF were still enjoying their Christmas holidays…  mind you, even if there were red flags flying and our illustrious boys in blue were out bombing, I felt very safe being this close to one of the targets, they would probably have missed it !!!”
