We reached Beachy Head..

I was surprised to see the Samaritans sign…

We parked our beast in front of this pub/restaurant..somewhere where we will return for our lunch.

Some interesting plaques around this place..

Finally, everybody joined us and we started to walk up to the first headland

Photobucket

A nice little path lead to the headland

Photobucket

It was a cloudyish day, so interesting patterns on the sea

Photobucket

Sighs, people can be so dirty..

Photobucket

The bushes were all bent over due to the wind…

Photobucket

The path was lined by these memorial benches.

Looking back at Eastbourne in the distance

Patterns on the sea

I think the gang was taking more pics of each other than the sight..

Photobucket

A little path down on the slopes

Photobucket

A path down to the sea

Photobucket

Reached the headland

Photobucket

And the first view of the famous lighthouse in the distance…

Zooming in..

Then of course, I had to get off and over the railing down into the slopeIMG_0251_stitch

Peering down

Chalk cliffs

Photobucket

The beaches aren't what I would actually call as nice

Photobucket

or inviting

Photobucket

Looking back over the channel, so many different colours to the sea

Photobucket

Kate is braver than I

Photobucket

And Kannu

Photobucket

She got a good shot

Patterns on the ground..

I head back up to the headland

And then start walking to the second headland…
