    Couldn't get these up in time yesterday, just a few pics of a cliff top walk down to Portland Bill in a force 7 but at least it was dry and sunny.

    Oh, gosh! I'm stunned! Such amazing views and the ones of the Pulpit rock and the climber are my favourites. Thank you soooo much!

    I enjoyed the pics Strongy, and I especially liked the third and sixth, the last one made me dizzy though.

    Thanks for all the comments, I wasn't going to put them up as I didn't think them interesting enough!
    Pal, you weren't one of those mad b****rs who jump off Pulpit rock were you? Many do but it is madness in those currents.
    Pleased you found somewhere to stay.
    We are going up to the frozen North-umberland(I'll get some stick for that) in august so expect more cliff and sea pics. :D
