Coastal erosion...Porthcothan Bay

Just been down to Porthcothan to see the old Arch Rock...looks like its changed a bit over the years....Here's a photo I took in November 2013...



Just been down there today to take another photo....January 2017...


It looks like another section has fallen away fairly recently...


Now has a flat top !


Back in January 2014 we had the major rockfall at Jan Levertons Island...or as it was sometimes known. the 'Donut'.
Just a reminder of how it looked at Christmas 2013....


Then soon after in January 2014 it looked like this...


It was a well-documented event...featuring in the Cornish Guardian, the Sun Newspaper and even on Sky News ! Aswell as many online news sites...

This is how it looks today....



Good luck people out there ! Stay safe and see you soon :)
Jim

    A great blog Jim. ��
    It seems the cliffs and rocks have been crumbling fast since the great storms few years back. The Atlantic can be an unforgiving place.
