Beachy Head - where?

[44bw]

Hi,

A couple of weeks ago I went to jump off but got there when it was dark and couldn't see which parts were sheer and which were sloped. Is it possible for anyone to put a mark on an image of the Google maps satellite photo of the best part? It looks like just to the left of the beachy head lighthouse (not belle tout) but I'd like to be sure before I go down there again.

Thanks in advance!

An ordinance survey map (with contour lines), a compass or a mini GPS and/or a cheap little night vision scope (test the range first) would serve you far better than any map marker I suspect.

Take a pack of glow sticks with you as well to throw them over. I forget the calculation to estimate the drop based on the visible light but it's easily Google-able and will give you a good estimate anyway.

If I remember correctly, the rate of falling for humans is around 22ft/sec. Second the glow sticks
