Mission Report: Operation Inner Trial Bank – Feasibility of Freshwater Reservoir and Man-Made Mountain

Inner Trial Bank

Objective:

Primary: Assess government’s historical freshwater reservoir and power station failure on Terrington Marsh.

Secondary: Determine the feasibility of Inner Trial Bank as a viable man-made elevation for Norfolk's topographical enhancement.

Time of Deployment:

Arrived at 1300 hours after an attempted infiltration via Google Maps' compromised intel, which directed me down private farm roads obstructed by locked gates. Adjusted route resulted in a 6.88 km forced march from East Bank, carrying advanced ‘surveying apparatus’ (drone, camera gear—standard issue for high-level data collection). Progress hindered by persistent light rain, resulting in unfavorable filming conditions.

Terrain Assessment:

Light drizzle at 13% intensity made initial path slick, transforming it into a pseudo-waterway. Marsh terrain unstable, with localized pools forming, confirmed by the presence of a dead crustacean (enemy likely deceased due to environmental exposure). Equipped Vivobarefoot shoes quickly reached maximum water saturation. Further infiltration was not hindered as wetness resistance had plateaued. Secondary analysis: minimal hazard, though trench foot is listed as an ongoing possibility.

Reconnaissance of Outer Trial Bank:

Outer Trial Bank

Conducted visual reconnaissance from Wash Viewpoint along Norfolk Coastal Path. Primary target (Outer Trial Bank) deemed outside operational range due to jurisdictional breach into Lincolnshire. Proceeded to mission's main objective.

Primary Objective – Freshwater Reservoir Feasibility:

Arrived at Inner Trial Bank. Initial evaluation of the 1970s infrastructure revealed critical miscalculations by command at the time. The attempt to create a freshwater reservoir in a salt marsh is analogous to hydrating with saltwater—futile and ill-conceived. Reservoir project terminated shortly after construction. No functional water storage or power generation achieved. Subject matter experts concur: monumental failure.

Secondary Objective – Man-Made Hill Feasibility:

Despite primary mission collapse, the unintentional byproduct—Inner Trial Bank—shows promise as a Norfolk hill analog. Current elevation surpasses natural local landforms. No significant altitude sickness reported. Climbed mound using standard ascent procedures, with maximum elevation estimated at several meters above sea level. Potential: viable candidate for Norfolk's man-made mountain initiative. Additional mounds could counteract East Anglia's inherent flatness.

Terrain Hazards:

Noted waterway incisions, up to 1.5 meters in depth, resembling Norfolk ravines. Navigation manageable at low tide. Enemy resistance nonexistent, barring minor environmental discomfort. Soggy terrain offered no tactical advantage to the opposition (notably dead crabs).

Mission Conclusion:

Freshwater reservoir initiative = abject failure.Man-made hill feasibility = unexpectedly successful.Inner Trial Bank stands as Norfolk’s premier artificial peak. Future operations may focus on replication of this strategic asset.
