It's only a tiny stretch on sand anyway but it's wierd to suddenly come across this hulkig great spar jutting out into the sea, festooned with barbed wire and security cameras. There's not much to be seen on the site itself except the giant cooling tanks. The whole scene looks like a set from Dr Who. You can also get quite close the Dragon LNG/Semlogistics fuel storage site over in Waterston. In that case the footpath goes over the pipes rather than under them and it feels like you're in a Cold War thriller as you navigate the very Soviet-feeling bridges.

I took some photos but had the wrong lens so a bit far away. I'll pop them up this week so you can have a look. I always like the strange contrast between nature and industry, particularly on coastlines.
