Anyone here from the UK looking for good places to Jump or train method?

[The Schizoid]

In the UK SN is difficult to get, there are also no guns.

Jumping and train seem to be the two methods that have a high success rate and are easily accessible.

I'm likely going to get inebriated before hand to help.

My preference is to jump to minimize chance of traumatizing others.

I've been doing research on cliffs so my body will be out of the way of most people.

Thank you

Jumping from beachy head is a very popular Jumping spot at 530 feet high at its tallest point.
It's also got a fantastic view so you can see some nice scenery before turning yourself into a flying human.

the white cliffs of dover is a nice place to jump

 

[StellaSomnus]

Which county are you in?

In Newcastle, at the Tyne bridge, I heard from my coworkers that there's a handful of people who has jumped off there and died landing on the bridge's pier. Maybe if you're brave and fast enough, you may climb up the arch and jump from a higher point.

Though be noted that most of these high bridges are somewhat heavily monitored for suicides, if you plan on jumping, make it quick. I see several police cars parked on the side of these kinds of bridges every month, usually in the evening.

I wouldn't do the train method. My timing can be awful sometimes. And my sense of direction. I'd jump on to the wrong track or something stupid like that.
I've been looking at cliffs, I live near to some very high ones but they are all sloping so aren't ideal. A long drive might be in order one day. I'm getting very desperate to go though.

Hmmm, done some research, climbing the arch seems risky and likely to be stopped, jumping from the bridge itself onto the concrete feels risky as it's at that height were you could die but there's a decent chance you survive. And I also live quite a while away from there. Don't want to mention my county just in case it gives away who I am, but I'll say I'm from Scotland.

Jumping from beachy head is a very popular Jumping spot at 530 feet high at its tallest point.

535 feet, no known survivors out of hundreds, sounds like where I could do it.

I live hours away from there though.
I'm in scotland but often travel to the midlands. Can anyone name good places in scotland or england?

Beachy head sounds nice but its literally right at the bottom of the UK. I could still go there, but surely there's other places? I've done some research but many of the places I've found have some concern over height.

 

[Yaffle]

I've had suicidal thoughts in excess of 30 years and I've honestly thought about Beachy Head for probably 25 of those years. Would be my preferred jump spot, beautiful and high enough to guarantee the result, my problem would be SI preventing me going over the edge.

More recently have thought peaceful such and N (not available) or Nitrogen exit bag.

I've also thought at great length about trains and did research on good spots but I've ruled it out now for the sake of the driver and clean up team, must be awful for them.

Where in beachy head would one jump? I have never been to beachy head or heard of it but jumping is my method definately. It's instant really and got a high success rate not chance to change ones mind.

It has a 100% success rate. There's not a single recorded incident of someone surviving the fall. It's 535 feet at it's highest point.

I think I'd try to get over the SI by taking something to make me drowzy or whatever, but need to figure that out. Alcohol might help.

 

[IsThisEverything]

Beachy Head is my go to jump spot too. Definitely high enough. The only problem is that there are regular patrols and people are on alert for potential jumpers.

All you'd have to do is make it to one of the cliff edges. They surely don't have hundreds of patrols there.

 

[StellaSomnus]

Scotland's a nice place. I would love to ctb there, at least I'll die in a nicer place.

Instead of jumping off a cliff, why not go for drowning/water blackout? Some alcohol and weights are needed, and some swimming. Hopefully you can disappear and float away.

I know the patrols try and assess which lurkers may be jumpers.

As hard as it would be one must try and look as natural as possible taking in the sights.

I expect the patrols are most common in the most popular spots, near the car park, near the pub, etc. It's not just the patrols though, staff in the pubs and taxi drivers are also on the lookout for jumpers. I am planning on walking from Eastbourne Station in my walking gear to avoid interacting with people and to look the part.

Dude... be careful posting your plans.

 

[losing hope]

I'm thinking of scammonden Bridge as a decent alternative to Beachy Head as there are no patrols & its easy to get over anti suicide barriers. It's 128ft (with the new 8ft barrier). Photos & discussion here;

Advice on jumping?

This is an odd question that I haven't really found asked. At least not at a cursory glance So I've bounced between methods. I tried CO but due to unforseen events it failed. I love the idea of SN but due to work I can't be home to make sure no one else opens the delivery and if police show up...

sanctioned-suicide.net

Might combine it with taking SN as you have the time to do that.

 

[IsThisEverything]

Dude... be careful posting your plans.

There are lots of people who do that sort of thing as it's a nice place to walk, so I'm not too worried. Thanks for your concern though.

Beachy Head is my third choice should my other more peaceful methods fail. It's only 20 mins from my house.

It truly is a beautiful place. It's one of my favourite hikes I used to do with my late wife (she took her own life a month ago). Our dog got dangerously close to it once and it is pretty terrifying looking over the edge - not going to lie

It's worth noting that whilst Beachy Head is the highest point on the South Coast at 164m, its infamous for suicide, there is a sign for the Samaritans for example on the cliff top, and true im sure they keep an eye on it - there is a pub that looks out on it so probably best not to linger too long around the top as you will draw suspicion, not sure how much of an eye but still if that's a concern, there are numerous other places along the Seven Sisters that are more than sufficiently high enough and well over 100m and far from prying eyes

Around Old Harry Rocks in Dorset is also similarly high, also very beautiful, once camped on top of the cliffs, pitched up in the dark got very drunk and woke up and realised how dangerous that was.

In Scotland, the North West Coast around Cape Wrath has some very high cliffs, pretty much all down the north west cost you'll find similar, my favourite part of the world, again it's a bit of a long drive

Sorry that happened to you.

I thought beach head was 535m?

 

[bagot77]

I've always thought the train method would not be fair for the train driver who would have to live with seeing you jumping.

 

[piddincir]

535 feet or 164m, this country is weird that half of things are in metric and Half in imperial units of measurements. You need 150 feet (46 metres) to be reliable and pretty much all that area has cliffs that high. There is one a mile from my house that is just 46 meters which tempts me everyday

Beachy Head is my go to jump spot too. Definitely high enough. The only problem is that there are regular patrols and people are on alert for potential jumpers.

I was stopped by one of those patrols and they called the police even though I had been calm and return to their office with them. Police showed up and I managed to myself away from them - but they did escort me out of the area and was advised not to return there at night time.

Hmmm, so how did they recognise you were gonna jump? I don't get how they differentiate. Were you skulking around suspiciously?

It was quite late at night and no one else was around. I had literally parked the car and was about to start the walk up (about 10 minute walk as I go there sometimes).., athe patrol car had decided to go past at that point. What I should have done is gone earlier when other people were there - they have never bothered me when other people are around. It is just that I was scouting beforehand, but wanted to go when no one else was around.., I have learnt from the experience.

Noted. Thanks for info.

In Birmingham you could walk a dodgy neighbourhood wearing expensive clothing and jewelry then instead of giving them what they want, you fight them back. Guaranteed CTB and someone else did it for you.

As I said above, used to think constantly about Beachy Head before thinking more about peaceful methods.

That said, what more peaceful than such a beautiful place.

2 things steering me away. First responders having to deal with scooping me up plus the enormous SI preventing running over the edge.

Plus it's a long way from home and cover stories for the time required aren't easy.

If it was more local and I could be more certain of beating SI it could easily become my preferred method again.

Beachy head has places that don't slope. There is a point between the 2 lighthouses that is a popular spot.

Beachy head is of my 2 preferred methods. If jumping I will take some benzos, a few vodkas and blindfold myself before leaping to help subdue survival instinct.

I've been looking at that. I can't see any ledges in any pf the photos people have uploaded to google maps and an image search includes images where the cliffs were much more rocky in years past, showing that erosion has resulted in the increasing areas with a sheer drop, so perhaps some of the ledges are no there now. By the stripy lighthouse there is one area which seems like a straight drop, right on the point, but then even falling on the sloping bits either side are still drops much higher than the considered height for almost certain death, I'd say the deciding factor to be more if the sloping ground is still solid enough, rather than the reduction in height.

But even a bit further along towards the other lighthouse the drop must still be enough, it only looks like 20m lower so still over 100m.

I've been searching around for other high points, and as I have been looking people have jumped and died from much less. A woman jumped from Clifton Observatory in Bristol, which is just a small building. there are some of the highest cliffs in the country on Devon and Cornwall with less of a chance of anyone stopping someone from jumping, but they aren't sheer drops, at least not right the way down, though people have still managed to do it from those places, one man was even seen crouching and then just leaning forward from what looks like a straight drop and he died, but is doesn't look very high to guarantee death.

I think I'm more likely to jump sober than drunk or on tablets. Each night when I have a drink I seem to lose any urge to go, it is during the day when I am able to consider all my problems and how bad they will be in another 2 week that I find myself cutting off all my emotion and feeling like I could just go and get it done with. Mind you even poor weather would put me off when I'm at the edge, I'd think I can't do it today, it's too cold and windy, I'll freeze down there. It doesn't always sink in that that is something that doesn't matter.

Beachy head is a 5 hour drive for me. Too far and expensive to go and come back. It'll have to be a fairly decent day. Part of me has even thought doing it on a big tide, and when it is just 3 hours til high tide, so if I an alive but injured the sea will finish me off before any rescue attempt could be made.

Apparently even places like the Clifton Suspension bridge in Bristol has a high success rate. It's just harder to jump now because of the higher fencing they've put but people are still managing it. People would just need to be aware of the story of the woman who jumped and her large bell dress acted like a parachute and slowed her fall, dropping her almost sitting down in the soft mud at the side of the river.

 

[WAITING TO DIE]

Yeah beachy is a long way for me too because I live in Manchester.
My initial plan was to get a national express bus to Eastbourne then book into one of the cheap hotels not too far from the cliffs just to chill out for a bit before I ctb.
I've looked at all the jumping spots and beachy head is the only one I would consider due to the sheer height and easy access without worrying about fencing that are on bridges nowadays.
Good point about jumping at high tide : there will be less injury trama so therefore better for people who don't want to traumatise loved ones too much.
