The Sermon on the Mount
- 21 March 2012 09:35160561Well perhaps not... so you will have to forgive the biblical reference, but the day before yeatserday I saw this group adorning the very tip of Shakespeare Cliff. They are a long way off from yours truly's position so I am using extreme focal lengths to get the picture and I couldnt help but think of the Sermon on the Mount as I did so. It just looks that way.
One guy appears to be giving a sermon to the gathered multitude but in reality it could just be a rambler group enjoying the day out. However...havent they heard about the recent cliff falls..they look awful close to the edge. That bit they are standing on could come down and the whole group would go over.

- 21 March 2012 10:02160576if it had been a sunday i would have gussed it to be a w.c.c.p guided walk or the ramblers association, monday seems unlikely.
wouldn't be surprised if the leader was quoting from "king lear" there. - 21 March 2012 10:18160586Have just double-checked just in case... and yes it was definitely monday...so no sunday sermon. Its not that ace Paul Scotchie Wells guy doing the business a day late is it!?
lol!
This will be the last of my long range pictures as I am about to be massively engulfed very iminently by Scaffolding and yellow netting. The yellow netting is a new thing...dont remember that before right across my window, but I beleive it is about to happen as all the other floors have it. Its a Health and Safety thing I believe. Gawd!email: dover7@msn.com - 21 March 2012 10:49160605We went on a WCCP walk from Samphire Hoe around Shakespeare Cliff and back on a Sunday in the middle of January - bbrrrr!
The pic shows Paul Holt and a volunteer whose name I can't remember doing the King Lear recital on the other side of the cliff. The next bit of cliff you can see in the background near the footbridge from Aycliffee has got a definitely dodgy bit right next to the footpath that could be the next area to fall, we were happy to get past it.
