Comments on: Birling Gap http://www.fearoflanding.com/british-mainland/birling-gap/ The Art of Not Hitting the Ground Too Hard Sun, 05 Feb 2012 23:23:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Barbara http://www.fearoflanding.com/british-mainland/birling-gap/#comment-122006 Barbara Wed, 14 Dec 2011 17:30:21 +0000 http://www.fearoflanding.com/british-mainland/birling-gap/#comment-122006 What is happening there? Will it be removed in spring 2012? I would like to go back one time before that. Or is it too late allready? In 1999 I have been working at the Hotel. There was a lot going on during that time. But perhaps there allways was a lot, having all the students coming and going. It feels as a part of my live will disapear. How is the family doing? Are they still involved? And what about the other people working during that time? And the regular guests... What is happening there? Will it be removed in spring 2012?

Who knew that Birling Gap could be so popular? I wrote about Beachy Head in a <a href="http://www.fearoflanding.com/misc/the-south-downs/" rel="nofollow">previous post</a>. When I was there the board was definitely up top. Just thought I’d reference the fact that the site is a reference to flying for future people coming straight in via this page.

The title of your site is curiously inappropriate to the place since Beachy Head is associated with suicides - people leaping to oblivion. On the other hand I suppose that if you think you have perfected the art of 'not hitting the ground too hard' this would be a good place to find out how good you really are. Because of its draw to suicides the Samaritans placed a sign at Beachy Head with their phone number so that depressed people might ring them and hopefully be persuaded not to jump. I remember somebody pointing out at the time that the message board would have been more usefully placed on the top of the cliff rather than where they had placed it, on the beach.

The landscape and skies were bleak, but I loved the weekend and the hotel. I recently spent the weekend in a leaky hotel with some friends with a snowstorm sweeping across the town–at 10000 feet.
