16:2787266We have a suspect now. It was caused by Vic trying to dig for coal.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

20:5087370i share your concern barry, a more lingering demise would be more satisfying to most of us.

The cliff path between Athol Terrace & Langdon Cliffs was closed Thursday afternoon due to a minor rock fall.
There are barriers at Athol Terrace & immediately beyond the Jubilee Way bridge with police tape across the path at the base of the double steps for the cliff path & the private steps that lead to Coastguard Cottages.
The path from the police tapes that leads to Jubilee Way is still open.

Do you know if you can still access that path from the woods near Bleriot (crossing Jubilee Way) or is the only other walking option to the cliffs via Upper Road?

That may be the same path that starts by the police tapes - I've never walked it - a well-trodden path but a long steep walk round the Castle to bypass the closed section of the cliff path from Athol Terrace.
I drove from St.Margarets yesterday & could see no sign of National Trust signs about the path closure at the top of the cliff path by the hairpin bend.

Thanks. Yes, that's the one. Broadlees Bottom. It runs parallel to Jubilee Way with an exit to Upper Road. Jubilee Way cut through the path from the Bleriot memorial which joined it. Just wondered whether you could still cross Jubilee Way here (though I'm not sure I could leap over the central reservation like I used to).

The path on North side is accessed at the top of the lower run off zone , there are steps and a railing up to it. On the South side the path is still visible from the memorial woods but it is never cut back very well, its been a couple of years since I have been that way but the Armco is only single height and narrow, scissor jump should do it.

'If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly.' So, perhaps not that way.

I cant seem to place this? The news reports suggest near Samphire Hoe, so if so, which bit is it? Dover or Folkestone side, and is the railway in the tunnel at that point?

In some clips you can see the sea wall around Samphire Hoe in the foreground, and also the Admiralty pier in the distance. So it's looking towards Dover.
