Family found camping on 'dangerous' cliff edge in North Yorkshire



A couple and child who had set up camp on a dangerous cliff edge prompted a call out by police and the coastguard.

They were found in a tent in an area known for landslips along the Cleveland Way in North Yorkshire on Saturday.

Coastguard rescue officers from Staithes and Whitby were sent and gave "safety advice due to the dangerous location of their tent".

Police were also called because the family had breached Covid rules by travelling there, the coastguard said.


Just ..... why would any sane person pitch a tent there .....

I know! Especially with a child? Must be insane. God knows what risks they take at home, if they think that sort of camping is a good idea!

It certainly gives ‘living on the edge’ a whole new meaning!

Nobody seems to have picked up on the fact that it is illegal to wild camp in England (apart from Dartmoor). So, either they were breaking the law, or had permission from the landowner to pitch there.

Natural selection is still the standard operating procedure on this planet.

Have walked along there - the cliffs are seriously eroded and bits are always falling off. What a stupid place to camp!!
