Broken ankles, Durdle Door, Coastal Path


The Dorset Echo (31 August 2013), Rescue for path walker:

Coastguards helped to rescue a woman who injured her ankle while walking on the coastal footpath above Man O' War cove near Lulworth.

When I broke my own ankle on 18 April, at the same spot, I was told by Dorchester County Hospital A and E department that such accidents are very common there.

Isn't it time that the authorities or estate owners did something about the dangerously slippery and uneven loose gravel strewn on that stretch of the coastal path? Re surfacing.

Would it be tempting fate to rejoin the walking group and its coastal path project? I don't want to end up in A and E again.
