A Bath grandmother has been left devastated after her tent was slashed and her shoes were "urinated in" as she pitched up in Sunderland - while raising money for the RNLI. SomersetLive reported that Tracey Hannam, 55, from Bath, set off on her journey in July 2020 after losing her job during the coronavirus pandemic.
The grandmother of eight had pitched her tent near Sunderland on May 8 when the shocking incident happened. She had pitched her tent near Whitburn Beach when she decided to go hunting for some sea glass, and as she walked back to her tent she said she saw a group of five youths nearby.
After getting closer Tracey realised her tent had been vandalised with knife slashes all over it, her belongings stolen and destroyed. What's more, they had also urinated in her walking boots.
