HP6613 : Landslip danger ahead!

taken 8 years ago, near to Norwick, Unst, Shetland Islands, Scotland

Landslip danger ahead!
Landslip danger ahead!
Even quite far in from the cliff edge on Hill of Clibberswick there is clearly a risk of landslip. A local resident warned me that after the recent long period of dry weather, the risk was high. I thought that it would be greater after a period of wet weather, but I did not debate the point: I just made sure that I did not take any chances!
