Rock Fall Burbage South Quarries
Dingdong:
There’s been a serious rock fall incident at burbage south quarries on top of Trellis which looks to have covered a lot of the floor below it and on top of it, some massive blocks have come away from the rock above it.
remus:
There's a pic over on UKC https://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/bouldering/rock_fall_at_burbage_south-765423 Fair old chunk of rock that!
stone:
Periods of exceptionally wet weather increase rockfall risk. That fatal route collapse at Harper Hill in 2003 was also when there was lots of flooding etc.
Johnny Brown:
Ooof!
Bonjoy:
Comparing to the image in the Burbage guide it's clear that at least eight chunks have come down including one pretty big bit (4 x 1.5 x 1 m approx).
