Rock Fall in Rock Walk

Last Saturday a lump of rock about 3 feet by 3 feet by one foot and a load of soil fell down the cliff face at Rock Walk. None of the material made it to the main safety barrier. The photos below show the cliff face before the trees and scrub were removed, After the scrub had been removed and after the rock fall.

As you can see no trees were actually removed from this section of the cliff face so removing trees had nothing to do with the fall.

The rock and soil were just waiting to come crashing down on some passing bus but didn't quiet make it.

"I'm no expert" but of course it "stands to reason" that taking the trees out caused it!!!


Sound familiar yet?

Actually it is sinking into the sea and has been for the last 12 thousand years. One day it WILL go under. Though not this week.
