If you head down to the Seven Sisters cliffs, after you walk up and over the Seventh Sister you'll come upon the Birling Gap. There's a cafe and a car park and it's pretty underwhelming seeing concrete and tyres again after the unspoilt green of the Sisters. But when it's windy it's one of the best places in the world!
There's a little platform jutting out, with wooden steps leading down the cliff to the beach. At the top you can lean out into the wind, hang over the edge and fill your ears with the roar of the waves. It's like you're in the crow's nest of a ship. The waves churn below and the wind knocks the breath out of you.
It looks like a calm tide tricking in on a sunny day, such are my photographic skills.. Those are big waves, honest.
Noise therapy. Wind therapy. It's good escapin the sprawl
