Luckily it didn't happen when the beach was packed with visitors

          I remember a huge landslide at Charmouth many years ago, the great heap of mud and rocks projecting out onto the beach made a great fishing platform. Anybody fishing from on top of that pile of rocks at high tide yet?

          In the Daily Mail yesterday there is a large colour pic of the fall, alongside it is
          a fisherman sat on a chair with a beach caster rod set up (Thought it was Zigs :-)

            This looks like a nice safe place to shelter out of the way of falling rocks

                Cliff tops keep falling on me head, but that doesn't mean me eyes will soon be turning red.

                Crying's not for me.

                So i'm just gonna let the cliffs keep on falling, nothings flattening me :)
