Well a fence after a fashion, but definitely a fence! Reskajeage, Cornwall. The sloping path on the cliff opposite is the path to Fishing Cove, the officially designated nudist beach. The path is FAR easier than it looks from here!

The old route got washed away in a mudslide. This new one was kicked in and roped sometime between 2012 and 2014. It is perfectly safe (although I concede that maybe if you are a zimmer-frame user ...)

A famous sea-cliff climbing Mecca. I came here many times in the late 70s and early 80s to climb (the climbing routes are far more extensive than can be seen here, they extend round the corner and far down to sea level). Now I prefer just to walk and scramble! A sea mist ('fret' in Cornish) was just coming in. Best on full screen!

It's easy to get down to this point but from the top it looks impossible, Great to see astonished walkers on the coast path looking very concerned at the danger. I normally pass them about 20 minutes later and with a cheery hello, then quickly descend to Tubby's Head which leaves them even more astonished. All paths are very easy and safe; they just don't look it from above!

I fancied showing this again seeing as I have absolutely no more new Cornwall photos to upload! Photo taken and first posted in 2017. Better on full screen.

Shetland Ponies above Ralph's Cupboard, Portreath. They found something absolutely engrossing but I couldn't see nor guess what it was! They certainly ignored us completely! All they did, for a full 15 minutes, was stand stock still and stare straight ahead through the fence!

There is a fairly easy path to the end here. It just doesn't look like it from above! But many fishermen and walkers do it, often with their dogs.
