Sizewell Beach and the Lion Pub, Sizewell and Theberton, Suffolk - 4th October 2020

We drive over to the coast but for a change go to Sizewell, a small fishing village more famous for its two nuclear power stations, only one of which - Sizewell B - is actually still running. After a walk up and down the beach, we stop off at the Theberton Lion on the way back, a place last visited on a BSCC splinter group camping weekend in 2002.
