General Discussion

The excellent link provided by Wild Ash a few days ago included a map showing the erosion over the period 1851 - 1962. link repeated I know that Dawlish Man read the document but, much to my amazement, I discovered that I could post the map here for other forum users. Those seriously interested really should read the sections from about halfway down the page covering the erosion, previous storm damage, defences and prospects for the future of the Dawlish warren spit. I love the Warren nature reserve and it is one of my favourite places to walk but, in the context of an expected rise in sea levels, it is hardly surprising that the Environment Agency needs to consider a strategy before spending money on more defences.
