Work on the current round of recycling finished yesterday, with a bulldozer
trying to eradicate remaining ruts from the beach today.
Yesterday also represented the highest tide of the spring equinox and it looks
as if cold weather and associated northerly winds will keep any storms at bay
until water levels fall again. Spring tides at the end of March are almost as
high, and it is not unknown for significant storms to continue in April, May
and occasionally June.
Whether we need to undertake a further recycle before summer will depend on
the weather in the next few weeks, but I will keep you informed and also let
you know when the annual recharge is planned. We hope to have a further 4 or
5 days transferring shingle from Langney round to Sovereign Harbour, but again
access to the beach and shingle being in the right place depends on a suitable
weather window.
Best wishes
