H. A. N. W. E. everyone! North Cliffs, heather and gorse, this section sadly crumbled away these past 7 years! And a particularly favourite place too.

The South West Peninsula Coast Path above Porthcadjack and Basset Cove.
Sadly no more. When I next went for a walk here the following year (2012) this section had gone and the path was some way inland. On Google maps here, the path is still shown as following the old route, straight over the edge! You would have thought that they could have updated the map in 7 years!
Look at this - a short way along the coast; www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMnbOlvx72k
Sight and sound - please see my (a touch rambling) reply to Jean's comment some way below.

It's amazing how many people have blind faith in their SatNav (it seems to be called GPS in most other countries - what's it called in your neck of the woods, Pam?) or in their apps! But, if you look at the map here, you will see what I mean!

Pam you might appreciate Jean's comment and my reply and the nostalgic song ensuing from it!

Would you believe we have none of that ! we use good old fashioned paper maps !! You actually can't find us with a GPS /Sat Nav co-ordinate !

I love paper maps 1,000 times more than the modern stuff! At one time I wanted ti be a cartographer. If I had become one it would have turned rather sour for me!

That's certainly a shame to lose such a beautiful coastline.

6 years ago.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Eunice Perkins ^club

True, especially when in flower! But it's only at this short stretch and only about 15-20 feet or so. There are plenty of other places along here that remain, and are just as colourful!

It's a shame that a piece of the cliff has gone..........but that's erosion for you, it can't really be stopped, only slowed down!

This is beautifully composed with those delightful wild flowers in the foreground! I've given you a star in memory of the missing bit :-)

It's actually just the same now, just quite a few yardsback from where it was!

Gudrun ^club

Pity about the coastal erosion, all the lovely heather and gorse s gone....

Google and updating their maps? Dream on;-) They are either years out of date or ahead of their time as recently in the case if a (not yet opened) tunnel in Iceland....Some people actually drove in until they were stopped by workers.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

You are right, Gudrun and as more and more people worldwide are discovering, Google is a big pile of ordure. Really a very horrible outfit that deserves a bigger kicking than it's getting! Same applies to Facebook (and the others too, come to think of it!) but I reserve a special distaste for Google after what they did to Google Reader, Panoramio and other stuff too - I'll stop here before I get in a hissy fit!
