The pair on the cliffs by Old Harry Rocks. Picture: Swanage Coastguard A Swanage Coastguard spokesman said: The photograph was taken by someone fishing at 8pm near Old Harry Rocks. We went to the area the following day and spoke to members of the public and asked people to stay away from the cliff edge. The cliff, which the man was on the edge of, was no wider than 50cms. As the temperatures rise, it becomes even more dangerous because the cliff is made of chalk. The heat can erode this material especially when stood on - and people can slip very easily.

Swanage Coastguard posted the photograph of the pair at Old Harry Rocks taken on Friday night. A spokesman said: Taken near Old Harry - help us to help you. Don’t take risks - this person is stood on a cliff top no wider than 50cms - it’s NOT a path with a drop each side. A spokesman for neighbouring Kimmeridge Coastguard had earlier issued a plea to stay safe on the coast this weekend. He said: With a scorcher of a weekend ahead of us, please be extra careful, go prepared and don t take unnecessary risks when venturing to the coast.

When Poole-based sailor Pip Hare completed the gruelling single-handed round-the-world Vendée Globe yacht race in February this year, after 95 ½ days at sea, she realised a long-held dream. When she was back on dry land we asked Pip to share some of her favourite, and more local, sailing and swimming spots in Dorset, places where she likes to chill in summer.
Studland Bay: An ideal anchorage on a summer evening. Row ashore for a walk on the beach then back to the boat for a serene evening at anchor listening to the water gently lapping at the sides of the boat. The sunrise brings a beautiful light to Old Harry Rocks.
