4 x marker posts on Cambois beach ?

[BAZACODBASHA]

Hi, Just curious if anyone knows exactly what the four metal marker posts are for on Cambois beach. I know they have been placed where the old cooling water outlet from the power station used to be, and at first I thought they were to mark where a new outlet was going to be built for a new power station.
However they were installed about 3 x years ago (probably at considerable expense), and if a new power station is to be built, it looks like it will be built on Battleship Wharf, which is a fair distance away from where the old power station was.
The only clues I can come up with is : the two inner poles seem to mark the mean low water neap tide mark, whereas the outer ones seem to mark the mean low water spring tide mark.
If anyone does know what they are........................please enlighten me.
Cheers.

Don't know about that mate but i must be the last person in the NE to discover the wind turbines on the pier have gone when I had a look the other day

No, you're not the last one.

I didn’t know that they have gone. We passed a couple of waggons carrying the supports for wind turbines last week but just thought it was something to do with the offshore rig that is working with them off Blyth just now.

They've taken the small ones down on the pier because they are being replaced with some monsters.

the new windmills along the pier will be bigger but not as big as the new one which is up just before the pier.
As for batttleship wharf are they not going to build a new biomass power station there,im sure i've seen it somewhere that they have got planning permission to build it or they were going through the planning application stages!!
I think Blyth/Cambois is going to be busy before long with the new turbines just off the coast,the new biomas power station and i beleive that a company has just got millions of quid in grants to start exploring for oil and gas off blyth!!

There's a drilling type boat anchored off Blyth now, been there about a week

Aye that's the MPI Adventure.They are putting in some kind of mast for Narec to measure the wind activity and measure other stuff

the posts on the beach are just markers to indicate where the remains of the old hot pipe is they didn't remove all of it and it can still be seen on a good low water

Thank's Dru. That makes sense. I remember the old pipe. Used to fish it a lot. Caught bass to 7lbs and Mullet to 4.5 lbs from it. Great days they were indeed. Was gutted when the power station was earmarked to close.
I've just been looking at the proposed new power station, and apparently it's outfall pipe is to be 770 meters from the low water mark. ( a bit like Lynemouth power stations' ) so it doesn't look like you will be able to fish from it !
