islandgun Posted June 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Its amazing Iv'e seen the results of a localised storm where on one side of a hill, rocks and fences are washed away whilst a few hundred metres away everything is as normal. 3 minutes ago, TIGHTCHOKE said: That would have been nasty in the dark! 2 minutes ago, Grandalf said: Certainly wouldn't do your tyres any good... brings a whole new meaning to pot holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldypigeonpopper Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Hello, remember a few years back we had a really dry summer like now and when the rains come it washed the top soil off 100s of fields and took roads out just like your photo, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoolinDalton Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Surely, that will only last until the next deluge, seeing as the left half of the road (from the pic) drops down and there doesn't seem to be any reinforcement to hold the road in position. Is it a case of the water washing the substrate away under the road? If so, maybe a large concrete pipe will suffice to carry the water away instead of the substrate / soil, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the East of Scotland, Fishing villages and towns, arable land with a mountain backdrop and a rocky shore with huge beaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
