The caves of Portland, Dorset - Neddyfields Rift

Overview A short, tight and arduous rift, opened up in Aug 2018 which contains a good selection of formations. This is a place for the slim and physically fit only. A level of insanity helps too. Cave length: approx. 20 m Entrance: SY 69023 70108 (50.52993, -2.43840)

Not related to Neddyfields Rift. The crack in question has been there years and is about 1 m inland of the cliff edge. Last time I looked it was about 10 cm wide. The cave is in the quarry the other side of the cliff path about 20 m inland of the cliff edge at a higher level. I obviously can't comment when it'll go but it'll be a sizable chunk of cliff and take out a load of popular climbing routes.
