Don’t take the risk for a photo

 

Yesterdays patrol came across a group of visitors at Old Harry taking it in turns to walk across a “bridge”to take a photo of each other. 

A “bridge” describes a ridge of rocks and is less than half a metre across.

The chalk is deteriorating quite badly at the location and a slip or trip could end in disaster. 

The patrol asked the group to come back and suggested a safer location to take photos. 

We urge anyone visiting the coast to take care near cliff edges and not take risks trying to take photos in these locations. 

In a coastal emergency 999 Coastguard.
