This is a large landslide complex (Fish et al., 2006) and throughout April 2008, reports of landslide activity were occurring nearly daily and were reported in both the local and national media. The slope movements resulted in two properties being demolished and other properties in the Knipe Point Estate and the A165 Filey Road being threatened. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specialist staff from the BGS Landslides Team carried out a walkover survey of the landslide to record the nature and location of the mass movement for entry into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/geology-projects\/landslides\/national-landslide-database\/\">National Landslide Database<\/a>. The BGS routinely responds to major landslide events in this way, sending specialist staff to the scene of landslide events to collate data from landslides whilst they are relatively fresh and often active, offering invaluable information.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure  class=\"img-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/caytonBay1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"lazy-blur\" alt=\"Figure 1 Location of Cayton Bay, North Yorkshire.
