jukebox Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Blimey, dt, someone has already pinched the "Do Not Climb On These Rocks" sign, by the look of it: Were there any Australians on the beach when you were there? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcredfer Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Without the Orange Suits, Crane Jibs, Diggers, Dump Trucks and Spoil Piles the place looks grey and desolate .............. and not improved by the "Illegals" loafing around at the foot of the new rock barrier .....

bigd Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 It has only taken me 193 pages to figure out that Shakey, is slang for Shakespeare's Cliff. I must have thought they were two different places! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Todd Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Had an email from AndyH, a few day's. Evening Dave Further to the washout post... That bit of fence post has been dangling like that (held up by a single piece of fencing wire) for years. It's where the locals used to tip their old washing machines, tv's, bikes etc off the cliff. There was a nice little scrap yard down at the bottom.You can just make the fence post out in this 1989 pic... 47364 Back in 1990 I thought it would be a good idea to lean out over the cliff there to take some pics safe in the knowledge that what was left of the fence would save me if I fell!Still... got some nice pics There's a new secure fence erected along the top now to spoil the fun.

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted April 1, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Out of interest I've posted a link on the " Grim Landslip on the S & C " thread. It links to a video on facebook showing the piling operation at Eden Brows by Story rail. It wouldn't have made a lot of sense without having seen David's marvellous pictures on here documenting the process of creating a buried viaduct. The piling rigs looked to be very similar. The problem was the access and the situation, standing on 500,000 tons of gently sliding river bank. The video is a piece of advertorial but is well worth watching. https://www.facebook...90993297658712/ Jamie Edited April 1, 2017 by jamie92208 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
