One of the pop ups that appears is local to me and is the Cuckmere cycling centre. It is a local bike hire shop and has some very appealing pictures of the local 7 Sisters area. The 7 sisters are a range of chalk cliffs in the sea. There are- or probably were- 7 of theses peaks but the coast line is eroding fast.
Be honest and the pictures are not that good but can give you an insight to one of my local areas. Don't know where some of the pictures are from, but some interesting scenery- but as they are into bike hire- They don't show the interesting bits like the 15% hills or the deep mud on the gnarly descents that I look on as the highlights of the area.

I've seen lots of pictures of chalk cliffs from SW England. Are these 7 sisters different from the White Cliffs of Dover? Guess I should probably go sort out the geography on my own but there are miles & miles of these along the Channel, yes?

Couple of pics to show how desolate the South downs can be, but fantastic riding on the Hills- providing you like hills and I am going off them at present

I knew we had something in common.......those pictures look just like some places I know in the Texas panhandle.

Absolutely stunning countryside! No wonder you are always eager to be out riding.
