This was the best of the weather - which then turned to hail! The beach is being progressively lowered with each high tide, after receiving a grant of sand from somewhere else! |

High water at the town end of Walton was a disappointment, as the indicated tide was a high one - but there was a good sea to look at! |

There is evidence in the photos above to indicate beach lowering and the scouring of defences. |

Another shot of the beach lowering to expose the sheet piling, holding in the concrete, around the wooden piles, in turn holding the concrete blocks in place! |

A groyne does its job, centre, whilst the lowered beach, left, gives little hope of delivering any beach material to the next enclosure north! A chance meeting with a fossil-hunter, allowed us to see many small shark's teeth, and this monster! |

The view from the end of the permanent defences; a landscapes of cliff-high embayments stretch out northwards. Below this outline is a treasure trove of slumped forms - rotational slumps, mobile flows and block glide! |
