dcriout Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 On the Network Rail camera (updates every hour or so), it looks like there is a JCB on the beach, maybe emptying a container... When is work on raising the wall going to start? JCB on beach again today appears to be excavating sand from beach near the wall has now driven off towards the warren seen on dawlish beach web cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted August 30, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 30, 2014 Do you really think those containers would stay in one piece if they were to be lifted full of all that rock? I reckon most of them would quickly head for whatever banana shape their contents allowed as they buckled under the load! Mike is right - the plan is to partially cut them open, empty them, then remove the rest of the metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted September 4, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 4, 2014 Just of the end of Canvey Island is the site of the sinking of a wooden barge carrying barrels of cement. Naturally the barge and the barrels have rotted away but the cargo is still there in barrel shaped lumps! Hope those mortar sacks are somewhere dry...! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightengine Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Heads Up, Cap’n. Hurricane Chistobal is currently heading more or less straight for Bermuda. Whilst not a Super Hurricane it will retain hurricane force winds until almost across the Atlantic. Of course it is making a beeline for the UK....probably in about 7 days, difficult to be precise. Maximum sustained winds are 85 mph - it will decline in strength but it is possible that you may see gusts to 70mph. It is also possible that it may miss you altogether... Just bear it in mind to check regularly with the Met Office from a couple of days hence. Forewarned is Forearmed... Best, Pete. After the decent weather we had in the period forecast above, I am so glad that I didnt act on the words of the Bringer of Doom, Trisonic and buy up all the stock of Waitrose, batten down the hatches and watch endless tv repeeats of repeats. Lovely down here in Devon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granitechops Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Saturday 6th September Teignmouth Docks the vessel Taska 1 from IPSWICH has arrived alongside Eastern Quay (?) judging by its bow protection it could be a tug not a nautical type, can you tell! wont have time to upload pics till later BUT art 7.am no human activity by dock staff , emphasised by arrival of truck with porta loos. but no one around to take delivery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted September 6, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 6, 2014 Taska 1 is a 'road transportable workboat' - very innovative vessel it seems and has a 4 ton bollard pull which means it's not exactly a slouch when it comes to towing. Did it come by sea or lorry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
