Beachy Head

Last Sunday when the sun made a glorious little appearance we took total advantage and went to Beachy Head near Eastbourne, around 45 minute drive from Brighton. We had nothing planned that day, just lounging around like any other lazy Sunday (watching the lazy Sunday video is compulsory after that reference) and we thought hey why not go on a little sight seeing road trip? So we hopped in the car and got going!

While it was one of the most beautiful sights I had seen in England it was also quite eerie knowing it was a suicide hotspot. While we were up there my friend pointed out that you can understand how anyone would feel so insignificant on those cliffs and how it only takes one millisecond of not thinking to jump. We then proceeded to a dark debate whether you'd prefer to jump off those cliffs or a high rise skyscraper in a city- we agreed on cliffs. Apparently, there are an estimated 20 deaths a year at Beachy Head and there are people constantly patrolling the cliffs throughout the day which was sort of strange. 
Oh yeah also, when I was writing this post Wikipedia informed me that Beachy Head was where the Quidditch World Cup was filmed in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It was alsoused in the opening sequence to the 1987 James Bond film The Living Daylights, even thought it was meant to be Gibraltar.

ANYWAY enough about suicide and enjoy the pictures from our glorious little day out. We obvs made a pit stop at KFC on the way home. T'was a GREAT DAY!!!
