Every Friday at 1300 hours, Tally-Ho Corner’s cleverest clogs come together to solve a ‘foxer’ handcrafted by my sadistic chum and colleague, Roman. A complete ‘defoxing’ sometimes takes several days and usually involves the little grey cells of many readers. Don’t be shy. All are welcome to participate.
To fully defox the following geofoxer, identify all thirteen locations plus the theme that links them.

D looks like the statue of Byrhtnoth at Maldon, although I haven’t found that photo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byrhtnoth
(Tolkien wrote a play about him, but the rest doesn’t look very Tolkieny…)
F is the Baltimore Beacon in County Cork.
Which has the nickname of Lot’s Wife, because it looks like a pillar of salt.
H is the Wieliczka Salt Mine

So the connection is Salt (Maldon Sea Salt for D)
B looks like the Salt Lake City TRAX, then https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRAX_(light_rail)
