The wrong sort of sea weed!

On the news this morning, they were reporting travel problems on the railways and road, little did I expect to get a phone this morning from the patrol asking for a spade as they had encountered their own travel problems.....a patch of sea weed!
Having patrolled the beach they were about to leave via middle beach and came across a patch of this evil weed. Normally being careful you are over it and up the slope, sadly this time it got the better of the heavy vehicle and before they sunk down, they requested the spade (which should have been in the vehicle!).


Having dug around and cleared the weed a very friendly "Derek" from the National Trust brought his tractor down and gave a helpful tug out to stop the weed taking its toil again!

A cup of coffee at the Middle Beach Cafe, some standard jokes and of course the all important "what lessons have been learnt" and the chaps (who I shall refrain from naming) returned to the station to start cleaning !

What was I saying about 18 hours to look after the equipment and putting the spade in!!
