‘Foulness Island. Not so much rough as weird. The island is restricted as it’s got a military base with a weapons proving ground. You could hear the explosions miles up the coast.

When I went there, there was a checkpoint on the way in with only registered people allowed. The little village felt like it was straight out of the 50s and the rest of the island was littered with rotting planes, tanks and half demolished buildings. Then we got evacuated as they found some live explosives.’
