Excellent! What an amazing trip. You have a good dose of bravery. Going past the cliffs must have been both exhilarating and slightly scary. As you said, "It's fear that causes danger", and you kept it in check!! I've never been to Hastings. It looks like a nice little seaside town. Looking forward to part 3. 🙂
