Not sure if this is the right forum area, but I was wondering if any regulars to the Wainstones have noticed the gap open up on top of the garffit butress?

I'm sure the crack wasn't that large last time I was there. I think it is a lot bigger but don't have photos to compare.

Worth someone looking at I think, if just to say it's always been like that

In reply to Martin1978: I think it's fine. It always looks improbably perched, but that's just the buttress- makes ali baba all the more interesting!

In reply to Franco Cookson: This is what it looked like about 18 months ago:

In reply to Franco Cookson: I don't think it has moved looking at that photo from 18 months ago. Looks the same as the other week.

Cool. Thought it worth a mention though, funny how your memory tends to play tricks on you

Cheers, Martin

In reply to Martin1978: aye, it is. I remember thinking it too once- if that block moves at all though, it will fall off. It's fairly precarious.
