18th April, 2016 Beachy Head Sunny and clear W 4

Cool west wind so again no sea-watch and we covered Shooters Bottom, Old Trapping Area, Hotel Garden, Icky Ridge and the Cliff Path, met up with Bob who had covered Birling lane and Birling loop including Belle Tout wood and Richard who had visited Whitbread Hollow and Cow Gap.
