Why a van stopover at Beachy Head made me so EMOTIONAL

This is a very unusual episode of Craft Van Life. Normally I like to concentrate on three things - traveling in my converted van, food and drink. But on a recent trip to Beachy Head in West Sussex the beauty and the sadness of the area really affected me.
And, as it's currently Mental Health Awareness Week 2021, I thought I should share my experiences of this place with you, and why ultimately I am glad I spent some time there.
If you are experiencing mental health issues then please, please talk to someone close to you. If you feel you can't and you're in the UK then try ringing the Samaritans in complete confidence free on 116 123.

    I felt the same, and didn’t even know about the suicide history. Really interesting to learn more about it afterwards. It felt heavy and beautiful at the same time.
