It's raining rocks

If you've walked down The Rock lately you'll have noticed that the erosion is taking hold at an accelerating pace. Large chucks of rock have been falling from the crumbling facade from an area around half way down and the stones lie by the side of the road until they are crushed by vehicles or manhandled out of the way.

More perilous still, the overhanging trees that once seemed to teeter on the edge of the farmland above, now have no visible means of support and are simply awaiting the next storm (or earthquake) before they come crashing down. The tricky bit is this: whose responsibility is the margin of this beautiful and unique bit of roadway: the highways department or the landowners? You can guess that neither will want to claim ownership!
