Investing in and protecting Thorpeness

[Steve "Whistling Joe" Everett @whistling_joe]

Looks like we're reaching East Hide @RSPBMinsmere along the new boardwalk today! Last night's surge overtopped the dunes, I can't even reach the gate without it coming over my wellies

Rough seas, High tide. Fragile, damaged defences getting battered #thorpeness #StormBabet #suffolk @CPE_NandS

Easterly gales forecast over the coming days, battering these fragile defences #Suffolk #thorpeness #erosion #storm

I don’t usually post about friends who have died but I will share that Rev Canon John Tipping passed away last night at Ipswich Hospital, a remarkably good kind “Christian’ man and in effect in his retirement the Vicar of Thorpeness RIP

Another cliff fall to the north of red house over the last week here. Rapid deterioration evident in the rock filled baskets from 1970’s immediately south of the rocks #thorpeness #suffolk

The Red House Thorpeness that is no more

@2015laldevalley @ebenezer_300 @victorshannock @alteredmarshes @EastSuffolk @CPE_NandS Absolutely

[Alde @2015laldevalley]

@ebenezer_300 @ThorpenessG @victorshannock @alteredmarshes @EastSuffolk @CPE_NandS Some more rock would help abate the rate of recession as this cliff line wants to adjust a long way yet. A few good storms this winter and further loss and failure of poor defences to the south will prevail! #actionneedednow

@ebenezer_300 @victorshannock @alteredmarshes @EastSuffolk @CPE_NandS Wow. These defences were sadly not maintained.

@devilscustard Cley?

[victorshannock @victorshannock]

For those interested there’s still quite a lot of The Red House yet to be demolished. The hope is this will be a one off and that this may focus the various parties to work together to implement the plans of ⁦@ThorpenessG⁩ ⁦@EastSuffolk⁩ ⁦@CPE_NandS⁩
