Happened across all the large earth moving equipment on the beach during last week. Supposedly , supposedly, supposedly, supposedly they are moving sand from the entrance to the harbour and placing it along the beach parallel to the Den. Supposedly, supposedly, supposedly the beach level is below the crisis point.

 

Without the groynes being repaired wont the waves just move it up/down the beach?

Why do you twice say "supposedly"?  Do you think they're just doing it for a laugh? smiley

 

The sand is being recycled from the estuary side to in front of the Point car park. I'm stood there as I type this, reading the notice that's been put up about these works.

JC@ I'm well aware of what they are doing, doing. My question was will the sand not move from where they are placing it if the groynes, groynes are not repaired, repaired?

 

As usual a non comment to illicit a reaction, so sad. so sad.

And now you've edited your original post to add lots more "supposedlys". Funny!

 

My comment was actually a correction of your misinformation as to where the sand is being recycled to. Don't be so precious Farty.

JC@ Again adding nothing constructive to the post, post.  As I said in my opening post, the entrance  to the harbour isn't that the same thing!

JC@ my last post was rhetorical, just in case you didn't quite catch it, catch it.

Deary me, the constructive part of both of my posts was to point out that the sand is being recycled to an area in front of the Point car park, not to parallel with the Den.

Happy to help.  smiley

Snore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yet again you add such a unique dimension to a post that was merely trying to ascertain if the sand would move away from where it was being placed if the groynes weren't first repaired. 

 

Obviously we can't all be elevated to your own superior intellect.

It's not my fault that you've got an inferiority complex!  Seriously though, as I said, I was merely reading the notice and sharing the information for those who might have been misled by your original post. Thanks for your subsequent non-constructive posts though - and I bet you're pleased to get so many replies to one of your posts for a change... 

 

I too hope that groynes are put in place in front of the Point car park. Oh...

Ahem!

For those who might like to know more about this I noticed that BBC Spotlight featured it in their lunch time programme today.

I imagine they will be running the same feature in their 6.30pm programme this evening.
