Had the good fortune to discover East Kent District Association of the Camping and Caravanning Club had set up shop at the Grammar School so we popped down for the weekend.

Bolt assumed to be at the top of the water tower and hence inaccessible. No flagstaff visible and assumed destroyed.

Large water tower, once dominated the landscape before the urban sprawl of Broadstairs and Ramgate surrounded it. OS lists 2 components: Bolt - not investgated; and Flagstaff - not seen, presume destroyed.

Easy drive by of watertower but no chance of checking on the bolt without a parachute. Need to put the condition as probably there but unreachable

The photo doesnt do it justice, the water tower is massive. Google earth shows the bolt on top of the tower ;-)

Found the water tower no problem - the OS site suggests bolt to be on the top of the tower, think this is a non-starter, unless you work for the Water board.
