I've gotta visit this week. I've just gotta. I know the South Downs so well, just not that crucial bit...

It's a great place to go. I was there a few days back.

Soothing, relaxing. The scenery is to die for if you pardon the pun

Hey, you might have seen me post this info on other threads but just in case you didn't & just in case it could be helpful to you at all....
I went to Beachyhead a couple of years ago with the intention of jumping. I chickened out but I did some research first, some of which you might be interested in.

1. There is a lot of YT videos which might help avoid Samaritans/pro-lifers/other interfering individuals & shows what it looks like up there (but good to go & check it out in person first if possible) & there's other useful info in them as well.

2. I caught the train to Eastbourne & walked up, mainly to avoid detection.
People who use a taxi to go up there & appear distressed or in any way suspicious (even being alone can appear suspicious) get caught out because the drivers have a special code they can use to alert the dispatch person in their office who then calls the police to come & stop you.

3. Going to the pub alone, especially if you appear distressed/anxious/suspicious often results in the staff calling the police (&/or Samaritans/other).

But if you chicken out & need a taxi back to the station they're helpful enough call one for you.

4. There used to be flowers & crosses where people had successfully jumped from, they are no longer there.
Jumping from the wrong place can lead to failure (& usually bad injuries & a rescue mission which puts others in danger) because you can land on outcrops of rock. Most of beachyhead & nearby is not a sheer drop even though it looks like it in most places.
