I walked out to the target barges a few weeks ago. It's a very dodgy walk.. A mile over marshes then another mile over the sands to get out to the targets !!

Thanks all. It's an amazing experience going a mile or so off shore.

Once you get out there it fells like you're on the moon.. there is totally NOTHING out there at all except flat sand.. for miles !!
It's a trek just to get over the salt marshes before the sands themselves. It's all about chasing the tide out...
I've found many 30mm brass casings from A10 Thunderbolts all over the marshes. There's lots and lots of very big munitions scattered on the sands themselves.
.
Some days you can see an APC they had out there but often its only the top 2 foot as it's buried by sand.
It's no longer MOD land but owned by a local farmer now.

Here's the location
Longtidue 0°13'59.57"E
Latitude 53° 1'50.53"N

Look how far the wrecks are out there...

The control tower was for sale for about 3 years for £350k, it's very recently been bought and being converted into a home.

Here's the control towers for the north and south of the range...

Like this, something different is always good to see. It's a good job they're shipwrecked now. They've got more holes than an MPs alibi. Loving the dogs joining in with the adventures too.
