Some years ago, the local scrotes pushed a car off the top of The Cuttings; it landed on that level patch around Two Fingers where everybody sits around. A bunch of East European climbers had been camped there, went off for a couple of days, came back and found aforesaid car. Hardly conducive to a good night's sleep!
I know the odds are massively against, but... there have been lots of near misses on the west side, with scrotes throwing stuff off. Once I very nearly got killed in Wallsend with a giant hay bale landing where I'd been, a few seconds before. (Yeah, I know, death by hay bale... not quite the glorious exit!)
Just have a hunch the scrotes may be active by night.
