The Promenade, Swanage

The Promenade: rockfall update as at February 2015

  1. (p 256) routes 29 (German New Order) to 36 (Original Route) have been badly affected by the swiping away of the lower strip roof!
  2. (p 259) routes 53 and 54 (The Calling and Guided by Voices) have been affected by the loss of a small strip roof in their lower sections!
  3. (p 266) the traverse link between The Promenade and Unknown Ledge has been broken by the collapse of the flying buttress and the removal of the portal. It has left a protruding buttress of fresh rock and a sea-level holdless, seaweedy slab. Four routes have been destroyed : Crack of Dawn and Thunder Wall (which have clung on for decades!); as well as the newer additions : Eastwood Ho! and Matt Wild Hairy Frog!
