It’s actually insane the damage that has been done by this storm.
There are at least ~20 sections of the wall destroyed in the saddle area between Donard and Commedagh. Probably loads of other sections in other parts of the 30km+ of wall torn down.
There is also the Batt’s Wall in the western mournes that is probably in a bad state too.
These walls have been painstakingly repaired by teams of workers using Helicopters over the past years. Many of the large cap-stones have been shattered and will need to be replaced by new stones flown in via Helicopter. This could take years to repair.
Can’t even imagine what the strength of the wind must have been to tear down this wall, it’s a pretty solid structure.
Hopefully this will get rebuilt soon 🙏
God damn Mongolians!
How do you get up here?
There’ll be ones who are overjoyed at the chance to rebuild those parts. It seems like a rare past time skill these days – wallbuilding.
Well did you fix it or leave it for someone else?
That’s the result of 100mph+ gusts, the weather models on Friday had Slieve Donard at 115mph, the sustained winds weren’t far behind because of the exposure. Would have been a hellish place to be.
Plenty of work to restore it. Could immigrants help with that? They live for free. They could return the favor to the host country.
I will Mourne for the wall x
Currently on the 4th day of no power in my house😂👍🏻
