More Pictures of Storm Damage

There are more pictures to do with the storm damage on this page.

The picture above shows how extensive the slip damage is on the slopes of the West Bush.

Another (rather washed out) view of slips on the West Bush. This time looking more towards the old bush, which is on the right. Note the slip damage in that area.

This patch has become saturated and consequently 'slumped' or broken away from the slope until it has reached a walking track which has halted its progress. Bare clay can be seem where the movement started.

Because the slumped earth is so wet it is easy to pull smaller Gorse bushes out. Normally, because of its long tap-root, this is hard to do. The root in the above picture has been overlayed in red so it can better be seen. The open wet structure of the soil can also be seen.

The picture above shows a digger and truck (behind the digger) at work clearing the access road. As well as taking the spoil away, the truck brings in hard fill.

The road has been repaired with large sized stone aggregate.
