yay it's much worse, the carpark we parked in on military road is now also gone Jedi. They are putting the excessive cliff erosion this yr down to the amount of rainfall in recent months

A few statistics

The island is loosing its coastal line quite fast. The Isle of Wight used to be approx 26miles x 13.5 now
the island is 22.5 miles from east to west, 13 from north to south, the coastal line is vanishing so fast that alot of rural areas are now non passable

It's pretty scary, i myself am an islander and love living here but over the last 10 yrs there have seen 12 homes lost to the eroding coastal line

This video shows how quickly the island is shrinking, and bare in mind it is also 5 yrs old the video.
