        We saw some examples of stone balancing last week at The Cobb at Lyme Regis, on the wall beside the small beach on the left just before Beacon Rocks (behind the aquarium), was that you lot?

        P.S. The Cobb appears to have suffered a lot a damage, perhaps more than is visible as lots of the blocks of stone appear to have shifted, signs of which are only movement in the mortar pointing on the face of the structure. We overheard a conversation of those working on the repairs to the effect that what they was doing was completely inadequate.

              @Zigs - I believe that glue might be called mortar? :biggrin:

                            I started balancing stones but the locals objected and tried to bury me in the sand!
