    [/quote]Well from the car park down to the beach it's like a 15 min walk. People are doing their best to make it an easy accessible route from the top to the bottom of the cliff once you get there as they've put steps and planks most of the way down, it's fairly easy to get down to if it hasn't rained previous days to make it slightly slippery

    Hi,

    I'll provide an update to my last questions:

    I went Thu 19 April 2018 - hottest day of the year so far. Fair busy considering mid-week and not a holiday time. Main path down to beach from main car park has not deteriorated from last year. Due to the recent months of wet weather I did not take the cliff edge path but was advised mud was very soft in places. I climbed up onto cliff from eastern end - again soft underfoot in places and slope upwards was VERY slippery so best avoided until clay soil has been baked by the sun. Was high tide at 2pm - no loss of beach due to winter storms though some of the larger rocks nearer the sea appeared to have moved into it from how I remember it from 2017 .

    Mark
