After we had done our bit of coast watching for the R.N.L.I. we were feeling quite public spirited and minded to do more to help to preserve the safety of all visitors to this lovely Norfolk beach.
When we came across an unmanned Lifeguard station we thought we really should step in and provide some furpower (our equivalent of manpower). We all took up position, ready to leap into action if required.
Sorry we're rather dark blobs on our photo but the light was beginning to go at the time. As the light began to fade it ocurred to us that the post was unmanned because there weren't too many swimmers (in fact there weren't any) so early in the year. We tend to forget that humans aren't quite as hardy as bears.
Nevertheless we did do a rescue that afternoon. While strolling along in front of the beach huts we came across a bear who had got locked in (we hope by accident). We saw his face up at the window and heard his muffled cries and rushed to break in and rescue him.
Our new friend was very greatful to be free again and treated us all to a pint of Wherry in a nearby pub. It was a very satisfying end to a good day out.
Love from the beach gang xxx
