A rotating slip! Steer very well clear of the whole St. Katherines point area. All of the IoW coast from St. Katherines to about the Needles is eroding rapidly.
This is on the Eastern side of Ventnor, miles away from St Catherine's Point, which is spelt with a "C". I live on the Military Rd between Blackgang and Brook and some of the cliff is eroding quickly, some is quite stable, depending on the mix and amount of different types of sandstone and clay present, surface water run-off and wave action. The chalk cliffs between Compton and the Needles also vary considerably in their resistance to erosion depending on their mineral constituents and exposure to the prevailing wave direction.
Re : Insurance paying out , goodluck with that one , they will call it " act of God " and refuse to pay out, unless the policy specifically states they will pay out under such circumstances you have no chance .
Good vid
I loved Smugglers Haven Cafe ❤
I walked up there recently, still heartbreaking to see.
It must have been terrifying. Would love to know what happens regarding car and container though ….
