This picture was kindly sent to us this week by the Swanage Lifeboat Crew. It shows a large cliff fall between Ballard Point and Old Harry which has appeared in the last week or so. Often on this blog we have warned of the dangers of cliff edges and to stay clear of them. There must be several hundred tonnes of chalk that has come down, if you look to the left and right of the fall, you can see the original line of the cliff bottom. Whilst this seems to have formed a new "beach" our advice is to stay clear ,the chalk is loose and its still moving.
