~6/12/2022~ Actually writing this on the same day for once… couldn’t have as much of a slow start this morning as had to be out the house before 10 to head to part 2 of a focus group on creating a ND friendly drop in space for survivors of s*xual ab*se - was quite a contrast walking there to the last time when it was torrential rain! Got there early so got something to eat from the bakery in a nearby Co-op before going in. I felt a bit unsettled in the group at first as there wasn’t a very clear start to it, I was asked quite an open question I wasn’t expecting, and heard that one of the places they were considering for the ND Friendly space was a church, which was ringing strong trauma related alarm bells for us - however did manage to communicate what was going on for me, and felt better as the session progressed - people seemed to really take on board the points I raised that a religious building might feel like a highly inappropriate space for survivors who experienced ab*se that is in some way associated with religion and religious institutions. Afterwards I got the bus into the city centre to pick up some lunch. Then had a lovely walk along the seafront towards Hove. It was technically a working day for me, but desperately needed to take back some hours, and it seemed like the day to do it - still did a few bits from my work phone, but that was about it. Met up with @aminimalistmother and the rapidly growing Baby Harry - was so lovely to see them - am definitely going to try to meet up with them again very soon and not leave it so long this time (having covid and then post-covid physical health issues had got in the way). Got the bus home and really started to get into a new book on my kindle - it’s called Allegation. Got home, had dinner, did a few work bits I needed to do from my laptop. Then just generally tried to chill - wasn’t expecting to be feeling so tired! 🦄 #instadaily #instablog #update #mentalhealth #dissociativeidentitydisorder #cptsd #autism #traumarecovery #edrecovery #anxiety #chronicillness #disability #pots #potsie #dysautonomia #positivevibes #recovery #castaway #rustington #offseason #beachbound #abandoned #winter #tainted (at Rustington Seafront) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl2BCsgqLEeMFNzBGWt9cLSvznQhxbO68is1780/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day One Hundred and Six

Scouting around Bognor yesterday evening allowed me to come across Bersted Brooks Nature Reserve on the outskirts of town, which provided an excellent wealth of patches to shelter up for the night.

The morning air is crisp and my breath is misting as I pack up, but the aky is clear with just a few high whisps of cloud so it may end up being another hot one.

Out and at it again, it's out of town and onto the A259 to make a twisting course eastward along the adjacent cycle path, as it leads past some construction areas and alongside busy traffic.

It's a pleasing start to the day as the road is backing up with traffic around Climping, whilst I'm able to sail past with minimal effort.

Over the River Arun and into Littlehampton, I swing down past the small harbour and hit the seafront. The waters of the English Channel are nice and calm in the early sun, gently lapping at the shore as I have a nice sit and admire the view ahead.

A nice ride along the beach down to Rustington, I follow the road winding its way back up around a stretch of farmland before dropping back down to the shore again at Goring-by-Sea.

Ahead is a long, long stretch of coastal riding through some big urban centres, time for some easy miles!

On through Worthing and past the pier, it's a good leg of cycle paths out of the traffic before hitting the road again to cross the River Adur into Shoreham-by-Sea.

The path leads through some heavy industrial areas around the harbour at Southwick, before getting back off the roads as the trails pick up once more as I head into Brighton.

The sun is shining brightly as the day progresses, making for another hot day once again, but it's been mostly flat going so far as I head up to and around Brighton's famous pier and on to the marina.

The level terrain comes to an end here as the road begins to rise up and over the white chalky cliffs as I push around the coast of Sussex. It's some rolling climbs and descents as the road forges onwards in the heat, but I'm fortunately able to stay out of the heavy traffic throughout this long urban section.

I finally get past Seaford and meet the edge of the Seven Sisters Country Park. The paths and pavements disappear here and there's no choice ahead for me but to hit the A259 and slog it out in the traffic as the road takes to the cliffsides through some beautiful countryside.

Up and over the hills, it's another day of sweaty effort, but it's not too far to work at to reach East Dean where I can turn off from the busier traffic to head down to the visitor centre at Birling Gap for an impressive view of the Seven Sisters cliffs back down the coast.

It's time for the big effort of the day as I carry on round the road for a long ascent up to the famous Beachy Head. Whilst it's certainly a challenging climb in places, after my travails through Scotland and the West Country it doesn't match some of the awful gradients I've had to struggle through, and I manage to make the summit without too much exhaustion.

The view from up on Beachy is stunning on a day like today, with some panoramic sights of the sea and a wonderful view along the coast ahead past Hastings. I decide to reward myself with an ice cream for my efforts!

Back onto the road, it's time for a nice long glide downhill, with a twisting road leading down through some leafy woods and along the clifftops above Eastbourne seafront.

It's a lovely ride down through Eastbourne, along a pretty promenade section and past the pier, and along the road as it tracks around the long beach.

Past Sovereign Park, there's a turn around the dense suburbs lining the harbour, and a convenient supermarket where I stop off for resupply and a check of the map.

With the evening setting in, it's time for me to hunt for a place to rest my head. There aren't a ton of options for stealthily getting the tent up around, so I push on a ways round Pevensey Bay, which has similarly been dry on convenient options.

It may be a night in the bivvy ahead, but with the forecast remaining clear and dry it shouldn't be much trouble to find a convenient bench. I'll let you know how it goes in the morrow.

TTFN!

~16/4/2023~ I had slept a bit better than the previous night, but was still a bit foggy in the morning so mainly did chilled things. Had lunch at home/parentals. Wanted to head out to Chichester but left it a bit late and the train I planned to get had been cancelled, so decided against it. So just went for the usual trip into Rustington - sat in Costa for an hour writing a plan of the case I want to raise to do with the uni complaint but to the Trust I work for :/ … Then went for a lovely seafront walk. Packed, parentals drove me home, did some crochet, had a bath - tried out the new reincarnation hair mask I bought, and got swept away with various true crime research! 🦄 #instadaily #instablog #update #mentalhealth #dissociativeidentitydisorder #cptsd #autism #traumarecovery #edrecovery #anxiety #chronicillness #disability #pots #potsie #dysautonomia #positivevibes #recovery #actuallyautistic #lambing #coombesfarm #easter #spring #nature #farmlife #heartwarming #wholesome #animallover #cutenessoverload — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/KXMQUPd
