Now patrols and accident prevention are stopped, the only way the team can keep pace of the changing landscape is by walking the patch (in their own time) and updating the information board at the station or highlighting issues during training.The above picture taken just north of Sheps Hollow shows another slip which could cause problems this year. Not only is it still moving, but there is a risk anyone to the north of it (under Ballard) could be cut off at certain tides and then risk climbing up and over the mould and getting stuck. Whilst the top "crust" appears solid, put weight on it and you will sink into the clay (that's why its slipping due to the water content plus other factors).
So if you are out for a walk, check the tides, weather and stay off the cliffs.
