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.

Okay, maybe a new rift will appear then, before promptly disappearing!
