Cliff fall at Birling Gap
The most impressive sight of the day was the huge cliff fall that has taken place within a few hundred meters of the steps at Birling Gap. A person stood on the fallen chalk (right hand end) puts some scale into the amount and height of the fallen chalk that completely covers the beach - hopefully nobody is beneath it!
