Is it me or is this getting a little too close for comfort I cant remember the exact figure, but doesnt the east coast receed by up to 5 metres a year!?

......and by 2065 it will become the west coast [honest].

It does, Its because the sea never used to be there, its basically acting how a river would. As the thames never went though london till the channel flooded.

Given that Durham University has a Geoscience Lab at Boulby (where the train is going), I expect it's being monitored.

It's alright , it'll get deposited further down the coast and we'll have a new beach complete with pre-installed timber and steel breakwaters. Or will it be concrete and steel, can't tell from that photo.

Apparently not, it seems the product of east coast erosion heads across the the North Sea to Holland, mainly Friesland. Groins and breakwaters just move the erosion further along the coast.
Oh the joys of long shore drift and coastal erosion.

There's something a bit "fishy" about 'er in doors there Si mate.

I am having a whale of a time in Southampton!
but I do remember well deep sea fishing near Blackmarlin not so long ago, by trawler

and lots of silver darlings from not so very far south of there

What have we done, Captain Birdseye?


What...? !!!!

You mean that accident has already happened ?

and it was deliberate greed?

One day is already happening. Some people have already sold the future downriver

The ECML could go the same way...

If I travelled the ECML often I would be asking my MP to put NR on the spot as to what safety measures are in place for that spot. It ought to have, on-line some kind of ground alignment monitor similar to the ones they use to check bridge deflections.
