Red Rocks Closed at the Moment

Post by Jerry »

Have just been advised of this

"a slip has come down immediately before Red Rocks Point and totally blocked the coast road. The slip includes boulders the size of small cars, apparently"

Will advise I hear of an update.

If we can get past the first couple of rocks we might be able to bypass the main slip by dropping off the road?

Think it was low tide. But where the line goes is just rocks going out to sea The track bears rightish at the slip and theres 2 rocks about 3ft in diameter in between the bigger ones which if shifted you can squeeze through and hardly have to come off the original track
