Acctually I managed to follow the links to your website and downloaded it from there and will now (with your permission) use it as part of a powerpoint presentation as anecdotal evidence.

Not Looe School I'm afraid, but the postgraduate dept. of the University of Plymouth.

Yes sure, please add some kind of credit.

You can add the polperro storm one too if you want, it has a bit better footage of the tide coming up the streets etc.

Jon.

P.S. Next high tide is on August 22nd.

Im goin to looe on the 21st so this could be different considering I have never seen the tide past the beach in the many years i have been!

Cool, should be a really low tide too - we are going to walk out to Looe island on the Saturday (think it is the only time of the year you can do it).

Would it be possible to get hold of the orriginal video file of this as it would be really great to use in a student presentation I'm doing to my lecturer about flooding in the area?

[distortedmotion]

Yes, should be fine. I'll have to dig out the tape though. Is it for Looe school?

I have a video of floods in Polperro too if that helps?

[distortedmotion]

It was about a month later, we had more high tides then.

With the sea levels supposed to rise another 3ft in this century it could get very interesting in the future!
