Landslide Nearly Cuts off Martley

Well not quite but it was a big lump or three. Alasdair and I were travelling back from a geology walk recce when we came across this at 4.15pm 13th January:

We pulled over, flashers on, and set about trying to move the debris but that big piece, well it was simply too unwieldy and heavy.  Fortunately a passing contractor stopped and with great effort the three of us rolled it on to the verge.

Almost immediately, riding over the hill in the gathering gloom, came two cheerful chappies in their Worcestershire Highways lorry equipped with shovels, a petrol driven jack hammer and to be honest an energetic disposition.  In no time the debris was loaded on to the truck and driven off to a dump in Malvern (best place for it did I hear you say?).
