East of England jump spots

[Rainork]

So I have searched the site and google already for jump locations in my area but I'm struggling to find any close to me, so thought I'd ask in case anyone knows any.
I've attempted twice recently but I'm struggling to find a method that I can push through SI with so I'm thinking jumping may be my way to go. I'm aware there will still be a large amount of SI to push through, but as long as I can overcome in for a few secobds I'll finally be able to leave.
I'm aware of beachy head and a couple of bridges, but with the long drives I think I would struggle to make it there without raising too much suspicision (two attempts and people are on high awareness). I will find a way around it and head to one of these locations if I can't locate a suitable one closer to me though, would just like to avoid it if possible!
Does anyone know of any reliable jump locations in the East of England at all?

I know that on the south-east coast of England there are the White Cliffs of Dover. They are famous for their amazing view. They are simply beautiful!

A beautiful place for sure!
Still a little far but closer to me than other places I've found- I suppose by 'East of England' I'm more looking for East Anglia- the area above and to the right of London.
But still probably my closest option so far; thank you!

There are reports in the media about Bempton Cliffs but that's up in Yorkshire so still not exactly "near" where you're after. Don't know much about them though so probably best to have a read up. Likely a lot easier to access & to be alone than the more famous + favoured south coast cliffs.

Yes thats still a good few hours drive from me, but is near a friend of mine so that gives me a reason to head in that direction!
I did realise earlier today there's more cliffs around our coastline than I knew and it turns out there is one at a beach quite close to me. Apparently the highest height it reaches is 18m so I'm going to do a daytrip there to see if theres a suitable spot- theres a few reports online but it seems to be quite a quiet one so will hopefully be left uninterrupted.

 

[lifeisadream]

Hope your 18m was a typo. With cliffs though you don't want anything with ledges or random vegetation growing. Need a nice clean cliff face & sufficient height. Yes, definitely need a peaceful spot. That's the problem with the famous cliffs, sadly.

Unfortunately it wasnt a typo, although I wish it was.
I saw that people have been successful from the area but upon visiting I could see the height is dangerously low
I suppose thats why the famous ones are known as such- better chance of success.

Are you still here? I'm thinking of jumping off Beachy Head but like you terrified of SI and also need to know how to jump so that I'm likely to land on my head? Any tips would be appreciated

I am yes, dont have any money left for petrol so am planning on heading up to Beachy Head and/or the white cliffs early next week. (The search for somewhere closer hasn't gone so well)
From what I've read, if going from Beachy Head, the height should be enough but there's more information about that kind of thing on other posts.
I will say though, be careful if you don't have any control over SI as if theres any 'good samaritans' about, they will probably notice you if you start panicing. Maybe bring a notepad, book or sketchbook or something to give yourself a reason for sitting and gathering your thoughts?
When I head down next week I will try and remember to update.

Eastern England is very flat, so not much good for jumping (unless you can find a tall building). I think you would need to go further afield.

It's so sad we are in this place but I've been in such emotional pain for so long now and I need to be free.
Probably like everyone else on this site.
Thank

Oops thank you for the tips. Yes thought either my phone pretending to take pics or a book. Now as well as SI am panicking about where to jump. I've read directly between lighthouse and Beachy Head pub but my sense of direction is rubbish and I will probably pick the only place with a ledge to break my fall.
I would really like to park my car and just run and jump without thinking about it but I hear there are fences to consider now and not sure my hurdling skills are up to much.
Please keep in touch and I will too.

In Norfolk, I would recommend Cromer Cliffs or Trimingham Cliffs (60 & 50m drop respectively)

There is also Dunwich Cliffs in Suffolk but I wouldn't be certain if death would be possible there, there doesn't seem to be a steep jumpable drop

The A14 Orwell Bridge in Suffolk has a 40m deck height. A fall from this height is still almost certainly fatal, even onto a body of water. If you miraculously survive for example by going into the water feet first then you will just die by drowning

If I were you, I wouldn't take your chances with any drop shorter than 80 metres. You could end up in a wheelchair: there was a young man from the UK who ended up like that from jumping - he's even more suicidal now but he's less able to actually carry out a CTB plan and he was actually denied access to Dignitas since his condition wasn't terminal. Unfortunately, you're likely going to have to leave East Anglia if you want to jump.

The closest jump spot to me is St. Bees Head (~90m) and, despite standing on the edge twice with intent to jump, I still wouldn't count on it killing me instantly in hindsight. Dover is likely your best option, I'm afraid; since it's the summer, the cliffs are going to be teeming with tourists (witnesses) so keep that in mind as well - my second CTB attempt on St. Bees Head was actually interrupted by a group of Dutch tourists who had come to see the seabirds nesting on the cliffs.

Good luck!

I understand the sentiment of wanting to clear any chance of a statistical anomaly, but a fall from 40 meters (for example) is roughly equivalent to jumping from a 10+ story building. For a best case scenario, out of 1000 people who jump from such a height, maybe ~1 person survives out of that 1000, and that's with catastrophic injuries. The more realistic survival rate is 0 out of 1000

A height like that might not seem fatal up in person, but that's before you consider impact speed/terminal (lol) velocity going down. You're going to be hitting the ground at about 50-100+ mph, (80-160kmh for my britfriends) depending on the height. Unquestionably fatal, unless you're kevin hines level lucky

I have unfortunately done pretty thorough research on the topic since this is gonna be my CTB method

Ah, you are indeed correct! I must apologise as it's been two years since I personally gave up on jumping-from-height as a CTB method and have clearly misremembered my numbers. It's also possible I've been mixing up feet and metres (in the UK, we use a confusing mixture of both the Imperial and Metric systems - e.g. whether your curtains are advertised in ft or cm literally just depends on the retailer) so I've probably gotten something wrong there!

I used this rock-climbing website to run some calculations and, yes, your numbers for a 40m drop are indeed correct!

OP, please disregard my miscalculations and paranoia. Obviously, the longer the drop the better but a drop of 40m will allow you to reach a speed of ~60 miles per hour assuming you weigh ~80kg (I used an estimate of the average UK weight) which gives you a good chance of CTB from either the fall itself or a secondary cause assuming an unfortunately-timed witness (always a danger with any attempt in a public place, even in the dead of night) doesn't immediately phone the air ambulance.

For Cromer Cliffs (60m) and Trimingham Cliffs (50m), assuming the same estimate weight of 80kg, you'd reach a speed of 77 miles per hour and 70 miles per hour respectively. Naturally, Cromer Cliffs is likely your best option if you'd rather not leave East Anglia although Dover (110m = just over 100 miles per hour) would still be a good choice for those who really want to ensure the deed is done although you're much more likely to run into a tourist (witness) there at this time of year.

Whichever option you pick, or whether you attempt CTB at all, I wish you good luck and godspeed (pun absolutely intended)!

You must ensure that the cliffs are vertical. Otherwise, you may hit something on the way down and it could break your fall. A lot of the cliffs on the east coast (not all) are in soft rock and are not vertical. You should do some reconaissance before committing yourself to anything.

Absolutely correct and I'm kicking myself for forgetting to mention it! I had to do this back when trying to trying to jump from St. Bees Head (there's a lot of rocky outcrops there since the sandstone is eroding) and I figured out the best jumping spot by watching footage filmed from boats/drones on YouTube and matching said footage with satellite maps.

OP, would it be possible to find footage of the Cromer Cliffs and Trimingham Cliffs online? If not, you might have to buy yourself a cheap drone and get the footage yourself unfortunately.

I will be taking a look there as soon as possible, unfortunately at the moment my SO has no car and so is using mine for their daily commute, this has massively limited the amount of travelling I can do this week so I'm stuck waiting until they get their car back. I will be having a look online to see if I can locate any good spots with uninterrupted vertical drops.

Did you manage to go on your trip to BH? If yes, wondered how you got on & whether it was a scouting session.

They're very beautiful but I'm scared to go again for fear of being "monitored".

I haven't gone yet, no.
I've had a couple of weeks of really trying but, surprise surprise, nothing has helped.
If I make it there I will still be sure to update on anything I discover.

 

[Rainork]

For anyone who is following this thread, life has been throwing situation after situation at me but I'm finally heading up to Beachy Head tonight (will probably stay into tomorrow to have a look properly in daylight) so will hopefully have an update soon.
