October 2023 and Storm Babet relentlessly hits the east coast of Scotland, after several days of massive waves pounding the harbour wall at North Berwick, the sea defence finally succumbed and the wall was breached leaving a large hole.
Wow, that was quite a storm. We're just getting over our own storm down here in Sussex. Excellent drone videography, by the way! That's going to be an expensive repair job on the harbour wall.
It certainly was a big storm, I was born and bred here, not really seen anything like it before. Once every 10 years maybe. Glad you like the footage. They are talking roughly a million to repair the whole wall, seems a lot to me!
@@scottmasterton - There might be more to fix than just the visible damage. And it's not just the wall. My understanding of how sea defenses have to be worked on, one of the first things they would have to do is build cofferdams around both sides of the breach and pump the water out -- and keep it pumped out. Then remove all the remnants, including the bits that are still in place but are damaged. It would be quite involved. It ought to be interesting to watch being done, of course, and you'll be able to get a bird's eye view with your drone!
I’m a Renton. Been living in Canada since 65. Too bad you didn’t include the rest of Berwick Law in your video, though I understand it’s about the sea wall. Thank you for posting. Spent lots of time with my dad waiting for fishing boats to come into Dunbar when I was wee.
glad you like it George, sorry I didn't get the Law in.... maybe this one will give you a 'law' fix ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hYz3T1iSFq4.html
