We have weeks of storms and heavy seas, including last night. Today it was dry so we thought we would go for a walk around Mount Batten. As we walked along by the river we were surprised to see the damage that has been caused by the sea. Stones had been flung from the river onto the path. Paving stones on the path beside the water had been taken up and flung across the grass.
The wall around the seating area of the Mount Batten Inn had been damaged and men were making it safe. The gangway to the ferry pontoon had also been damaged and the ferry was docking further up the river.
It was amazing that there was so much damage in what is a relatively sheltered spot, in the lee of Mount Batten and within in the breakwater.
