Email, Dawson.stef@googlemail.com ,camping, backpacking, walking, just me and my tent ,visiting many places and historical sites, countryside and woodlands.
I used to visit the Country Park and Fairlight beach during the 90's as a young man exploring the coast line, the beach was beautiful mostly clear of rocks and boulders especially the main parts of the beach, The Council at the time had built wooden steps to walk down and was officially classed as a clothing optional beach, with on a good day 300 -400 people would flock there with adequate parking at the farm house and cafeteria. Sad to see that nature has reclaimed the beach with most of the Country park looking overgrown and un kept, i no longer see the Park Wardens who used to work across the Park, i suppose that is due to cut backs. Been some years since i last went beyond the reach safety wise, a huge loss to Sussex and Kent. Thank you for posting brings back some happy memories.
i wish that i had visited the beach when it was managed by the local council, but as you said its cut backs finantually and they dont earn money from the naturists that visit there, i will continue to use the beach for as long as life allows and continue to observe the reclamation of mother nature and always enjoy every single visit , glad that you enjoyed my video btw
@@SunriseToSunsetwithStefDawson ok, thanks. I'll update you what it's like when i go. I'm sure one of the regulars there will have made some improvements to the access.
quite thin compared to the dutch army bivvy so it actually felt less claustrophobic and more room , not tried it in rain yet so cant comment about the waterproofness, but definatly good value for money so far
After watching this I brought a 2nd hand one on eBay for £60 which is a slightly older model but seems exactly the same, apart from the colour. I like the simplicity of the set up and it’s easy to lug around on my bike packing adventures. Great review! I look forward to using it soon
pleased that my video helped you and i still use the one man and the two man versions , never let me down yet , fantastiv tent , hope that you enjoy and please keep me updated , happy camping
Blimey i went there for the day 2 years ago and i can see a big difference..probably go again soon or sandwich bay beach, as i got bitten big time by mozzys at fairlight ..great content always have a look see where your exploring 🤠
I bought a British army bivvy recently and absolutely love it Stef. I'll be going down to Leysdown with it at some point in the next couple of months. Can you recommend a decent place to pitch as I know where you are but haven't been that far up
there is normally parking spaced at the end if you arrive early enough, or park in the layby before the unmade road, thats only what i have heard though as i travel by bike
that is just a estimate from there website , as the video says the weight can be reduced by only using 5 pegs and without the stuffsack lol , but thanks for the update
Hi there watched videos for wild camp at fairlight glen could you tell me an easy route to get there om 72 tried the walk past dripping well and too much for me, I'm now living in lydd having moved from London, if it's easier to go from the Hastings side please let me know keep it up with your videos they are great ,Richard.
hi there as far as a easy route goes , i tend to walk abover the dripping well ans its a slightly longer route but does have a fairly deep desend towards the end down some steps, beautiful walk though through the trees, just before the dripping well take the left hand path, goes slightly uphill before downwards, you can also walk along the beach at low tide but still have to clamber over some rocks in places , i am not a fan over walking on the beach but thats just my experience
Great video, really enjoyed it. Only one thing that I couldn't understand was that how can you have a smile on your face after paying £4.40 a pint, no matter how good it was,I'd be crying my eyes out!😅
It was great meeting you too and looking forward to catching up with you again soon, glad that you are enjoying your experience with wildcamping and nature
@@SunriseToSunsetwithStefDawson next time I'm able to I'll either be going there or down to breed high woods. Another lovely wood. First time I did Kingswood I inadvertently ake a toss a bunch of doggers lol
