Maybe I was being too optimistic but I had hoped the road would reopen later? Or is it a hopeless cause?

The area is being monitored now many weeks after the main event ,this will have to happen for a while for someone to make a decision ,the town is really feeling it this last few weeks iv been working for shop owners and they have noticed a slump in sales ,the route to wroxall is to be closed for repairs leaving only 1 route in and out this is going to cause some major upset.

Devils Chimney is still there and although this slip was pretty devastating Nature will do its thing soon enough. As for the property's!! Sad yes but how nuts do you have to be to build on a an area called "LandSlip"!!.

The Landslip - as it was - was a totally magical place. I recognise the location you were searching for. When I first "discovered" it, I had a tingling sense of deja vu, as if it was once on a path I might have known in my childhood - perhaps linking The Chink with the Coastal Path. Perhaps even an official route. In fact, on that first "discovery", There was a loose wooden direction sign amongst those huge amazing rocks pointing to "The Chink". The Chink survived the big slide.. Nearly everything has been re-arranged now by the big slide but who knows what new features will become recognised, like the ones we knew, which were themselves the product of the big slides of 1810-1818.

I feel like a drone could do this so much better, why does it need to be on the ground?
@gurtsmunta12 ай бұрын
Apparently it was a demo to show the feasibility of using LiDAR to scan the area ,to create a picture your scan point is gps located along with the scan which then makes the picture which would then at a later date be replicated to see if there were any changes ,there’s a lot of ground movement in the area ,there probably is a way to do this with a drone.

From what info I have obtained it was probably what is called a “dumb barge” basically a large un named sea trailer ,it would be floated around to the bay and beached the tide recedes quite a way here ,at low tide it would be filled with sand and re floated at high tide towed back to Sandown or Shanklin or further afield and the sand used for building. At low tide it was only in about 6ft

I have made a set up similar to this using a cheap blue tarp. I've used saplings in place of two tent poles. I push one into the ATV front bumper, and the other down through the rear cargo rack and into the trailer hitch. Then I pitch the tarp over the poles like a pup tent on top of my ATV. Roll out the bed roll on top of the seat and between the handlebars. My rolled up coat placed between the handlebars works a decent pillow. The set up isn't perfect, but it's fun for a few hours on a rainy night and makes for a dry area to sleep on if the ground is too wet or snow covered.
