Rock Walk, Torquay and the Heaviside Layer.

Here on Torquay seafront we have a place called 'Rock Walk'. This used to be a nice scenic walk along the bottom of a steep cliff face, however nearly 3 years ago the area was deemed as dangerous due to falling tree's and small landslides, so the area was cordoned off.

Well £3 million pounds later it has been reopened to the public, and as I was away for the grand opening, and am also currently dogsitting for my Mother, we (Pepe and myself) decided to take a walk and have a look.

Basically all the tree's were removed as they were a danger, and a gentle stepped walkway now zig-zags to the top, where the views across Torbay can be enjoyed.

Also dotted around the walk were some plaques with interesting local history, well this one caught my eye as it mentions radio and the ionosphere.

And here is the Pepe Pooch.

So there you go, so when someone mentions the Heaviside Layer, I'll know what they are talking about !
