Here we are wild camping on the East Cliff at Folkestone. Absolutely superb. What a view ?!
Breakfast of coffee & chocolate biscuits reading a book wrapped in the duvet&sleeping bags. Brings back memories of all that was good about the trip this summer. Big Views & Big Horizons - BVBH - almost everywhere we stayed. Quite the opposite of terraced house living & commuter train travelling in London.
The longing for BVBH apparent touches a primeval nerve, dating back to when Men&Women walked on the plains of Africa as hunters. It makes sense that there's some Neanderthal emotional connection as we still have physical connections with our wandering, hunting ancestors thru vestigial organs like the gall bladder. Then there's that fear of snakes&spiders many of us have; some argue it dates back to the caves our Neanderthal ancestors sort protection in. They were alarmed to surprise a sinister looking snake or spider in those dark recesses.
So, no wonder BVBH are so important - a primeval memory that is with us to this day.
BTW those cliffs are real dangerous....
