Sussex run

Staying in Eastbourne for a wedding, I left the hotel on the seafront for a morning run to find distinctly unusual south coast conditions of driving rain and strong wind. I ran along the seafront into the headwind, dropping down to a tree-lined gravel path directly above the sea for a while. I continued west to pick up the start of the South Downs Way. I entered the mist after a few feet of climbing and felt at home - I might have been in the Moelwyns above Blaenau Ffestiniog rather than Beachy Head. I ran along the grassy clifftop path for a while but was wet and couldn't see a thing, so sprinted back to the hotel for a mini speed session.
