Landslip at St.Catherine closes footpath to Flicquet

There was a "blink and you'll miss it" mention on the BBC TV news yesterday (especially if you'd just turned over from Channel Report and missed the start), with a single static shot that didn't really give much of a clue where the landslip happened. Here's a wider view you'll probably recognise, as you drive into the loop road and pass the car/boat park on the right...

.. closer. I stood there once to take some photos :)

Any critters that lived under there aren't going to live to tell the tale.

So that's the Ruelle du Verclut footpath out of action for a while. I hope that they reroute around the damage soon.

Not far away, TTS mend the storm-damaged slipway near the white tower.

Stormy on the East Coast

In the style of an excitable teen who has just discovered exclamation marks :)  ...

Look at the water surge over the sea wall!

Look at the spray higher than the tower!

Look at Archirondel getting a battering, and the colour of the churned up water!!

Look at the orange boat as high as the pier, the water flooding off the pier, the coastline in the distance pounded by waves!

Look at the beachside cafe washed up at Longbeach!!
