Don`t encourage her, don`t you think i have already seen enough bloody pill boxes!
I showed her your BO Crouch lookout post and she likes it, surprisingly she was not aware of that one.
Thanks for the stopover offer, maybe we could combine the lookout post with another thing on her hitlist - the Grain Tower Battery on the Isle of Sheppey and do a weekend tour of Kent and Essix.
We had a break from WW2 sites this weekend and went back much further than 1939, more like 140 million years.
Dinosaur footprints, flossils and Dancing Ledge on the Isle of Purbeck.
She walked back into Swanage from there, i had a snooze in the glorious early spring sun. Then went and picked her up on the bike when she finished her walk.
Bike news: Dobbin passed the MOT this afto, ready for MBR.

Sounds like a good day out was had.
Give me a shout if you come this way then, this one is more than just a pill box! (Sorry)
There's a degaussing station on Canvey Island which is a 20min ride from me if you're over this way, has she seen one of them?
It's a good place for an ice cream too.

This place is worth a quick visit too if you make it to Canvey:

Lots of Dutch influence in this area due to the amount of flooding in the past.
