National Grid Pylon Upgrades, Thrandeston, Suffolk - 30th July 2023

The several-year-long project to add a third wire to each phase of the National Grid pylons which run up to Norwich finally makes it up to Thrandeston, so it's interesting to cycle over to have a look at people climbing all over pylons - at least some phases of which are still live, according to the crackling which can be heard, and which are a good 30 or 40 metres high. Before that, there are a few random phone camera photos, the earliest of which is back in March for Harry's birthday. There's also a recent trip to the Burston Crown, which sadly seems to becoming a food-only pub as it only ever has one beer on and it's always something normal like Adnams. There's nothing wrong with Adnams, but it's everywhere so not worth a special bike ride.
