The battle of the gap at Westward Ho!

The dramatic scene on Friday morning,

shortly after the discovery of the breach in the Pebble Ridge near Sandymere, as bulldozers sought to narrow, if not close, the gap as the high tide whipped by gales, punched away all along the line.

Battle of the gap at Westward Ho!

At Westward Ho! after a night which brought gusts of over 100 m.p.h. huts next to the cricket fields have been swept away and large pebbles thrown about like marbles.
