A BM on the Fox & Hounds in Harleston on yesterday's ride. I think I've done this one before but, as I was passing, worth a revisit.. 👍

Short while back, I had a bit of a hike around The Wash..
Several pillboxes guarding against any invasion across the mud-flats were investigated.

There's supposed to be a Bolt on this one but it was too overgrown to find it.

Below, behind the Trig, is another pillbox now used for agricultural purposes..

The lowest Trig Point I've bagged. I actually had to walk down a slope from the dyke wall to reach it.... 4metres above sea level 😂

No beach-combing around here 💣

Did you know Pete there are two pillboxes on the Nene not far from drug dealing central the University? Well hidden in the undergrowth but visible if ones looks hard enough.

I posted about one of them quite a while ago; opposite what used to be the Lido, Midsomer Meadows.
. Not sure about t'other one 🤷‍♂️

Finally found the BM & bolt I've been looking for on a parapet on the old A51, now by-passed & renamed the A5199

I couldn't have stopped there a few years ago 😂

I been looking on the wrong side of the road. Still just about visible 👍
