Lariggan Brook Outfall - 10

Ah, there it is. Doing nothing. So does the water seep through the shingle, or back up further up?

The water is welled from the brook under the bridge and just beyond; it is then funnelled (!!!! duh) to the culvert under the foreshore, to outfall into loose shingle; there is no weir, no slope and no drop - and it stops, but above rock and clay level; Totally Monty Pythonesque.

It looks to me as if the whole thing has been sealed and mortared, and the only outlet for the brook is via the big shingle blockage. A very expensive set up, and it is as well that we had a dry weekend, or there would have been a surprise flood, which proves that we need to have an extra culvert ...
