This is not a Darwin award winner. So Close
A couple and child who had set up camp on a dangerous cliff edge prompted a call out by police and the coastguard.


They were found in a tent in an area known for landslips along the Cleveland Way in North Yorkshire on Saturday.


Coastguard rescue officers from Staithes and Whitby were sent and gave "safety advice due to the dangerous location of their tent".

They pro'ly should put about a sign about landslips for the more foolhardy/brave.

Nope!
No Way could I get any sleep there.
Other side of the road?
Maybe, with a few extra furlongs.
Cheers

But the View!
You must have the view!

The wind would blow it away!

They were probably worried about being ambushed/attacked from behind so pitched the tent there.

Gee, you wouldnt want to stumble out of the tent in the middle of the night for a pee

We were up in Kalbarri some years back at the "Natures Window" look out and over the other side of the river gorge there was couple on a narrow ridge allowing their little boy to run around unrestrained with a huge drop on either side of them.
I couldn't watch and turned away as did others as we all thought of what could happen should that happy little chappy get too near the edge and go over.
Complete and utter idiots.
I just cannot fathom out what's between the ears of so many absolute ****** idiots around these days.
