A day at the seaside!

Well, a couple of hours atop the cliffs at Birling Gap and the Seven Sisters.

A bright cold day on England's south coast, looking out at the English Channel and along the chalk white cliffs of the Seven Sisters.

The strange staircase to the beach and the Coastguard cottages.

Each year, the cottages march closer to the cliff edge and oblivion.

Beachy Head.

There is only one victor in the battle between the hard water and the soft cliffs.

Great photos, they remind me of my multi day coastal walk there a few years ago.

@BlobbyMcBlobface The walks are magnificent.

@SchoolBelle They certainly are, never short of a stunning view but difficult to find places to camp

@BlobbyMcBlobface I think there are a few official sites but rough camping isn't encouraged.

@SchoolBelle We alternated because sometimes it's not possible to reach a site before dark. We pitched late and left early, no trace of us being there but some people spoil it for others.

@BlobbyMcBlobface Very true. People should be able to enjoy these places but the irony is, the more people who enjoy them, the harder it is for anyone to enjoy them.
