My Day Trip to Hastings

So here's the Hastings day trip video at long last. It did take a while to edit and put together.

And it seemed to come out okay. What was odd though was that I filmed it with my stills

camera using the video option. I do wonder if I'll ever use my actual Panasonic video camera again.

There's definitely something wrong with it. Sometimes cameras come with their own factory settings 

and it's not always easy to adjust them.

So with our Summer running away I had to head for our South coast. And it was either Hastings

or Margate. So I ventured along the front shingle beach then had a look around Hastings Old Town

followed by a gruelling trip up hundreds of steps to reach the top of the Cliff known as the East Hill.

And so while up there I couldn't resit a short coastal walk. And while up there I noticed that the

tricky and steep path to the famous Fairlight Glen Naturist beach appeared to be open. Last time

I was here the path was closed off due to falling cliff rocks.

There are other safer paths to reach the beach that locals know only too well.

But as it was getting late on the Sunday I was recently there I thought it best to climb back

down the cliff and head for the train station and return to London.

So it does possibly leave me the option for a full on visit to Fairlight Glen next Summer.

THIS GORGEOUS NUDIST BEACH IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE U.K.  

AND IT'S ONLY 90 MINUTES FROM LONDON.

Glen Naturist Beach.

So I actually managed to find some old Video Hi8 footage from one of my earliest visits

to the Naturist Beach down in Hastings. I simply filmed it off a screen using a foggy

filter as well as adjusting the colour, giving it an almost retro film look. Of course

I have a whole draw at home of Video Hi8 tapes that I just never got around to transferring,

most of them featuring hours of footage filmed in Cornwall as well as my half dozen

visits to the U.S.

Plus below some archive video footage taken

in Cornwall on one of my earliest visits

before mobile phones had cameras,

which became a little invasive.
