Walking out to Old Harry you pass a number of embayments in the chalk, complete with wave-cut notch, beach material of flint and fallen chalk blocks, and cave features. |

The Old Harry complex of stacks comes into close view, where the path can show up recent erosion. Needless to say, I am treating the right-hand shot as evidence of this cliff loss, and not a challenge! |

The wave-cut surface at the base of the Harry stacks has a well-defined arch as well as ample material for abrasion and a clear stratigraphic break between white-ish chalk and the marine green base. |
