Travellers please be aware:

The shale falls near Caplecleugh incline are moving again.
There has been a SUBSTANTIAL fall at the very end of the shale section (inbye.) - not in the usual places, but in an area that hasn't moved much previously. Immediately after an arched section.
The debris on the floor is currently unstable, and there looks to be more to come down from the roof.
If I had to guess, I'd reckon there has been enough come down to fill a couple of dumpy bags.
There was also fresh, but trivial debris along a lot of the rest of the falls.
It appears this has happened recently - within the last couple of weeks.

Thanks for the heads-up, Leif.

If I win the lottery I'll buy you a JCB mini-digger :flowers:

In the interests of keeping the place open, would anyone be available on Sunday for some clearing work?

I’m keen to shift it, but I’ll be restricted to my usual Thursday nights.

Whilst you sorting the collapse out, could you also change the bath water.

If this project runs into the summer or autumn we will probably back up there and willing to help out.https://www.aditnow.co.uk/images/emoticons/thumbsup.gif

The Frigidarium is a new feature introduced this year to encourage people to ensure they have a sensible* level of biological insulation.

*the medical profession with their BMI mantra may have a different opinion of sensible levels - they are wrong!
