April 2001 

Again taken from the same vantage point as the above photo; from the beach at Eype Mouth, looking along the coast towards the west, this time without the telephoto. It shows the run of cliffs along the coast towards Seatown. The Eype Nodule Bed (ENB) runs along the cliff face some 4-8 feet above the level of the beach. It is only accessible at Hope Corner near to Eype Mouth. The further west you go the more the bed is covered by talus that has slipped from higher beds. The Thorncombe Sands bed (TS) forms a prominent feature along the top of Hope Corner. The beach is a mixture of sand, shingle and pebbles. As you can see... a 'spring storm' was building up just offshore!

October 2001 

Taken half way down the beach on the west of Eype Mouth. Less sand and more shingle on the beach since April 2001. The footpath running up to Thorncombe Beacon over Hope Corner is open to walkers, but only just.
