Birling Gap Eastbourne, 26th January 2008

Driftwood and surfers at Birling Gap Eastbourne. The water looked freezing cold and there was still some wood floating around

Blimey, still lots of wood around then!! They closed the beaches around the Worthing area IIRC, only problem is the wood will be all rotten by now . BTW what is that boat doing on the side of the cliff????? Thank you for the photos

BTW what is that boat doing on the side of the cliff?????

That's lashed up there all year round, the fishermen cant get it up the steep cliff so winch it up onto that ladder frame and tie it down!

We have had some wood washed up here.. as well as other stuff from the boat..

Sorry to bump an old thread but I didn't want to start a new one with what is very good news for me, and probably a lot of other locals:

Knowing the cliff edge is quite unsafe, I hope they don't lose the crane over the side

LOL - that first surfer one looks like the advert for Guinness extra cold where all the surfers run into the water to catch a monster wave and then all turn round and run out again because it's too cold!

Well work started on the clean up. Access was prohibited but I did get a couple of shots on Miss Shorelines Nokia:
