So I built ahem cough nailed a bike together for this jolly...only 20 miles but it's a naughty one.....like not really allowed kinda naughty
Its a blast over the marsh to the sea...dodging the firing ranges and circumnavigating a nuke power station!
Alarmingly I found what appeared to be a chuffing big mortar crater.....not in the ranges but frighteningly about 600 yards from the power station! Whoopsie! Bet some squaddie got a right rollicking!

Had to leave my mark.
View attachment 628885The end of the line....
Check those cables dropping to the ground! That means I'm almost at the destination now.....the magic bit.....
The concrete xylophone.....
Yup! You read that right ! A concrete xylophone!!
It's about 1/2 mile long 4 foot deep concrete lined trench with what can only be described as log thick cables in it
.
The top is covered in small loose concrete slabs hundreds and hundreds of em!
Every single one makes a big hollow ping sound .....faster you go noisier it gets
it can probably be heard for miles!
