Low tide was supposed to be at about 12:30pm so I knew I had some time before the tide would reach me. I had visited the site towards the end of January. It provided some incredible potential. I guessed that the beach would be fairly crowded and was a bit nervous of the number of people that would be there, as I much prefer to work on my own. As it turned out it was very quiet where I was working. I had parked at Seatown and walked about ¾ of a mile westwards to where there is a large area of fallen rock from the cliff face. These rocks vary in size from quite small pebbles to fairly massive rocks.
I found a suitable rock to work on. This rocks upper surface was about eight feet above the beach level, but had a rock just in front of it that was about four feet high that I could work from. I started making a stack out of the rocks around. Being on top of the rock increased the power that the stacks possess. This one reflects the enormity of Golden Cap itself, the highest point on the south coast of England. The last levels I had to do from the top of the rock and it was quite difficult to get up onto once the stack was started.
I found a seam of soft blue clay about fifty yards away and started to create a spiral out of the clay directly under the stack, an antithesis to the stack which perches precariously on top of the rock. The Spiral clings to the rock through its sticky nature. This started to work really well and so I extended the spiral down the face of the rock and managed to bridge the gap between the two rocks right down to the ground. The intention was to create a serpentine trail leading up to the stack, as if in reverence to its might.
