  1. The Overstrand was a development of the Boulton Paul Sidestrand, fitted with an enclosed and powered nose turret with a Lewis gun, the first RAF aircraft to have a power-operated turret. destinationsjourney.com/histor #aviation #aeroplane #RAF #RoyalAirForce #airplane #bomber #biplane #Overstrand

  2. 'Beyond the City of London, #NorthNorfolk has the highest level of homes either lying empty or infrequently used in England.'

    Our small new build estate here in #Overstrand 10
    properties are 2nd homes /holiday lets.

    Cheapest property on market in the village £290K & needs work.

    We're only able to live here because we are in a shared ownership property.

    We need affordable housing for locals now. I fear for the future of young people here.

  3. I guess we'll have to wait until next year before the council's rubbish contractors #Serco finally remove our #2minutebeachclean #December
    collection from the seafront here in #Overstrand #Norfolk
    This year we removed dozens of #crabpots , countless meters of rope & 100s of kg of other crap from our beach.
    Local #crab fishers need to take responsibility for their #ghostgear

  8. Absolutely delighted to discover during today's frosty #2minutebeachclean that we have a #purplesandpiper joining us at #Overstrand this winter... 4 years in a row now😍

  9. Shortly after an out of control black & white #GreatDane tried to knock me over on #Overstrand beach, one of my favourite things happened….we spotted a ringed bird on the sea defences. I managed to get a pic with my bridge camera. We returned home, I cranked up my Mac, read the ring & reported a magnificent #GreatBlackbackedGull
    #birdringing #Norway #ornithology . #Norfolk #NorthSea #simplepleasures

    Fascinating creatures.

  10. Dragged another #crabpot out of revetments during today's #2minutebeachclean at #Overstrand
    In 2021 we removed 62....

    Found yet another chunk of styrofoam (used as floats on the line flags)...sometimes we pick up hundreds of smaller pieces.

    Crab gear left by local fishers unsecured & in danger of being washed away by #NorthSea as it has in recent past.

    Message appeared while we were away in September but we share the sentiment.

  11. Try as we may, the tide of rubbish on the beach at #Overstrand #Norfolk is relentless. #2minutebeachclean
    #GhostGear from #crab fishing is a major issue here as is assorted plastic.
    This crap belongs to everyone.

  16. Don’t sell. Don’t buy. Don’t fly.
    Since January, we’ve have picked up >200 #balloons from our beach at #Overstrand
    I wonder how many we will find today during our #2minutebeachclean ? 🤔
