The Long Hole - empty Today
The inconvenience of the limited access and the provision of the
new Marina really made this place redundant and there have been
calls to fill it in and use it as additional car parking space.
There is a family connection here as my Father, who was the
Borough Surveyor back in the sixties and early seventies, was
responsible for placing the concrete walkway on the sea side of the
Long hole and for extending its capacity at the outer end.
The only use nowadays is by by walkers and sea fishermen.
The cache is a 35mm film canister. Take care extracting and
replacing so as not to damage the fixings (you'll see). Can be a
muggly area and at high tide in a northeast wind can be wet!
Wheelchair friendly all the way but help will be needed to extract
the cache from its resting place. As there are drops in to water
care is required with children.
