tell him to avoid that whole coastline i think its all liable to slip with all the rain we had!

[Hrusai]

yeah and seeing as he likes his fossiling its a real hazard!

[bigpaul]

yep, thats a shame but that coastline is slipping all the time, thats why they call it the Jurassic coast cos of all the fossils in it.

I spent a lot of time there as kid many many years ago and the locals always told me to stay away from the cliffs because they could collapse at any time!

Not sure what this thread has to do with prepping though?

as in"dont go near this cliff you might get buried under a landslide" sort of prepping, its not all about food stocks!

That's more like common sense.

It's like saying 'don't run across a busy motorway with your eyes closed!'

yes, that is obvious, but some people dont realise that this section of the coastline is very fragile and has regular landslips, thats without the deluge of water we have had down here recently. oh well, we were only trying to tell people to be careful if in that area, i'll keep my trap shut in future, i cant win today.
