Gone, but replaced by something else.
The Blue Wall along Rock Walk has finally come down a couple of years after it went up. I think Torbay Council should have closed the road while it was being demolished and had a big party with a free bar-b-que and a band playing but never mind, it's gone. The blue boards heve been replaced by a see through fence so we can see what's happening. And what's happening is the walkways and viewing platform are almost finished, slight delay during the week due to high winds, the crane, like Mr Bye's balloon doesn't work too well in high winds. Not sure exactly when we will be able to climb up and have a look across the Bay at Brixham and Paignton, nor when the top pathway which was closed for 4 weeks five weeks ago will be open either but it will happen soon.
Notes about the blog. Updated 08 March 2008
Not much is happening at Rock Work now. All the work clearing the trees has been done. A barrier has been erected to prevent rock falls from reaching the road. Now we wait for the geological survey in May to see what can be done to fix the rocks in place.
After that when work starts again later in the year I will post more photos.
Any news items I come across I will post as they appear in the local paper.
Or you can work through the whole blog to find more detail.

Just for the sheer hell of it this morning I walked along all 75 yards or so of the lower section from the Torbay Hotel end now open to the public. Eventually it will be fully opened, no doubt in time for the official opening on October 7th. Until then don't hold your breath as excuse after excuse is trotted out to explain the seemingly never ending delay. Of course the parking meters have been promptly installed within the past 24 hours or so. Nothing must delay them. Glad the priorities are correct.
