Yes, Richard and Dan, that works! Two cool guys on the way! Fascinating area, like in Austria the" Waldviertel". Very mystik place, I musst say, here in England much more beautiful, than in Austria. I know, how much work it will be to show us such Videos, and I am very thankful!!! Dan has his heart on his tongue, and that makes him so adorable. Dear Richard, I wish you neverending Energies to do the things you do......At least, please excuse my english and I hope you understand what I mean.

A great video, with Mr Vobes and a lovely man Dan! Great place and very interesting about the history. I climbed there once about 20 years ago when I first started rock climbing and found it quite tough going! I believe it is part owned or managed now by the BMC (British Mountaineering Council) who are the organisation who look out for and care for the climbing, mountaineering and walking community (and many other outdoor groups) and their environments.

Love it! Great Video! I meant to tell you, Richard, that I grew up in Groombridge (1977-1991) and have been looking forward to when your Sussex border walk would reach the village because how the village is split across Kent & Sussex. The county border is the River Grom, which is a tributary of the River Medway. Old Groombridge is in Kent and was built initially for all the people who worked at Groombridge Place. "New" Groombridge is in East Sussex and is where the Village has grown in size. However, to everyone that lives there is is just Groombridge. All us kids in the Village used to love going to Harrison's Rocks all the time. I particularly remember watching the BBC filiming an episode of Dr. Who there in about 1981. I think the episode was Castravalva and was the first episode of the Peter Davidson era. I look forward to you returning to walk along the disused railway line from Hartfield to the west side of Groombridge... which you;ll have to as part of your border walks. Lots of Pillboxes along the way too. :)

Btw....thanks for much needed laugh! You bringing up that large rock in Cornwall that you explored w/ Mark had me laughing so hard I had to momentarily stop this vid. Not (just) because of how scared you were up there; but more so the remembrance of my Mom watching that video. She was laughing & shrieking the whole way thru it. She didn't do good w/ heights either (probably where I get it from) so she was screaming at you through the whole vid to "not do it" & "get away from there" (the edge); mixed throughout w/ her hysterically laughing so hard that she would get this airy hehehe sound that would only come out (which I also get from her!🤭). So it gave me a real nice memory of her watching & just loving every minute of it! Well nuts...now I'm crying! So w/ that I will stop!

Wow! What an incredible place! I would imagine that be a fun place to explore as well. I was amazed at the way the tree roots had grown down the rock to almost look as though they had turned to stone themselves. I was admiring that farm house that sat across the valley from the cliffs, & then the huge red one up on top of an opposite facing cliff/hill. What amazing views of this site & that valley they must have!!!

A really good film Richard of one of south-east England's lesser known gems. The north and west of England are spoilt for rocky outcrops, but these sandstone cliffs are seemingly anomalous to a region dominated by and chalk. These very rocks actually featured in an episode of 'Robin Hood' (the Richard Greene version). I shall check out Dan's channel. Stay well. Mike.
