Any truth in the rumours I'm hearing up in Yorkshire about the Cornice falling to pieces because it's too dry  :o

Probably, after all, mud is surprisingly fragile once dried out.

That's what I'd heard. Due to the fact the mud is so dry it's lost cohesion with the rock, hence the blocks on the steep stuff becoming looser and threatening to drop out.
