Gotta get up early to post mostly off-topic mudflat walks halfway around the world from the original topic on bbs these days.

Wow…I totally want to attend The Virgin Church of Foulness. Their messaging sounds delightfully confusing.

Could be. I knew people who worked on the Shoeburyness range. Nothing radioactive though, as far as I know.

I like how the footpath, as shown on Google Maps, is completely underwater in the aerial imagery. Is it really a footpath if you have to swim?
I’m just really excited to learn more about my heritage of Foulness.

This is zoomed in on the start of the walk. If I zoomed out far enough to fit the whole walk on screen, I was losing sight of the walk in the background shading.

How about a place named:
Shoe-bury-ness for a place “surrounded by whirpools and quicksand”!!
I think the councils land naming department knocked off early that day!

“The hobo’s footwear had been stolen in the night and deposited under six inches of dirt. The local sheriff said that there had been several other incidents of shoeburyness in the area recently as well as a couple of hatburyness reports and even rumours of pantsburyness tendencies in the local gophers and other outsize rodents. ‘This place gets weirder every year’ he noted.”

We have a low tide walk across the harbor to an island in Boston Harbor. No dramatic deaths or anything though.

Yeah, I’ve seen this exact one before. I never knew they went back and built a new path while preserving the old one as best they could. It was a neat update.
