HFF! PLEASE STAY, DON'T RUN AWAY!!!

Basset Cove and Crane Islands, Cornwall.
High tide (at low tide, this is on one of my favourite shoreline rock-hopping 'walks'!).
The South West Peninsula Coast Path once followed the line of the fence. Now it has to veer sharply inland due to severe coastal erosion.

A tad precarious ,Andy Not much protection for the unwary cliff walker. This is such a beautiful coast.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

Thank you, Amelia.
I remember when I could walk straight ahead following the line of the fence (there wasn't the need for a fence then!) . And only about 15 years ago! Now there is a big inland detour out of sheer necessity.
I want to add a PiP showing the scene at low tide but I can't see how to do it! I'm no good at this sort of thing but when shown, it sticks!

Hi Andy,

Maybe you could title the picture "Wot, no path!" or "Wot, no fence!"

I like the composition anyway!!

But thank you and best wishes,

PS.
Noticed how few comments are getting through? Dramatic decline in number of comments in the past few days can't be due to members fleeing a sinking ship, can it?
