FOUR LARGE COILS OF PLASTIC PIPE, each 400ft long, 14ft in diameter, and weighing a quarter of a ton, being towed along the coast of Devon at Pinhay, near Lyme Regis. This was the easiest way of transporting the pipe to a pumping station, from which it will be used to drain waste water into the sea. After being unhooked near the beach, the coils were manhandled ashore and winched to the top of a cliff.
