Any decent cliffs/bridges to jump from in the UK that aren't Beachy Head??

[Dark Window]

I spent a while research train spots but have decided against train now.

I'm considering jump as my likely option. Beachy head is too far away and also heavily monitored.

Any advice?

Looking for something 150ft-200ft+ preferably landing on concrete/rock but may accept water.

There are many high sea cliffs in many parts of the British Isles. All you need do to find them is look at some good maps. The ones I know best are along the north coast of Scotland, but there are many others.
There are also some high cliffs in the mountains, especially (but not only) in Scotland.

I won't jump. I will ctb if my husband dies befor me, but I will do it by heading off deep into the wilderness somewhere, in cold weather, and fading away from hypothermia.
I don't live in the UK, but I have lived there in the past, and I know the country quite well.

Hypothermia sounds like an awful way to die.

Jumping far quicker.

No, it's peaceful. Eventually you feel nice and warm, and then you just go to sleep.
I have spent a lot of time in the outdoors, often alone, I'm not afraid of the wilderness, in fact I feel very comfortable there, and I would be perfectly willing to die there.

Not sure I have the bravery to jump, was considering train. Which in some ways is probably evokes a Similar kind of feeling. Sometimes I still do. But it's all such a messy affair. Morally not great too either. I used to live near a tall water tower and considered that on some days. But it was locked up tight and again the bravery of actually tossing oneself of such a looming structure to the hard ground below is very daunting.

It's incredibly depressing that people do jump to their deaths but the kind of bravery to do it always amazes me.

How do you know you feel this way?

And can I come? :D

I hear the last stages of hypothermia are actually meant to be rather pleasant? Probably not the correct term but not as deadful as the initial stages. Paradoxical undressing and all that. Thing is committing to the act right up to the last moment would take some nerve. But I could imagine worse deaths

Yes Beachy Head is heavily monitored. I once tried to jump off Beachy Head and got sent to the psych ward many years ago.
Slightly off topic, does anyone know how painful it is to jump off a cliff, especially when impacting with the water surface

When I was 16, a friend at school told me about the experience of his mother, who was Russian, during WW2. For some reason that I can no longer remember, she had to go on a long march. She became exhausted, and eventually all she wanted to do was "lie down in the nice warm snow" (her words). Her companions forced her to keep going, which is how she survived to tell the story. Thats how I know.

What do you think of this comment -

Nope. Nope. Not good.

When you're freezing to death the sympathetic nervous system tries to conserve heat by telling the arteries in your limbs to constrict. This keeps the warm blood in the core where all your vial organs are. When the SNS itself starts to shut down from the cold that signal to constrict peripheral arteries shuts down too, and all the warm blood dumps out of your core and back into your already-frozen limbs.

This causes the feeling of being on fire. That's why people run and strip their clothes off when they're freezing to death.

Dying from temperature extremes is a shit show no matter if hot or cold.

What do you think of this comment -

I don't think that's the explanation. What happens is simply that the part of your brain that figures out whether you are warm or cold starts to shut down and no longer works properly. It can no longer figure out whether you are warm or cold, and sometimes gets the wrong answer.

Which part of UK are you in?

On the border of Scotland/England.
Looks like a shit place to kys as not a straight fall.

It's a suicide hotspot, if you find the right spot.
