The area chosen for the meet is approximately a 10 minute walk (0.5 mile) from the car park, is one of the highest areas on the South Downs, and has been chosen as a good place to chat with other cachers and to witness any changes to the landscape that the partial eclipse may cause

The English Channel off the Sussex coast.

Cliffs at Seaford Head.

Cliffs at Sevens Sisters

The Amex Stadium

Firle Beacon

The North Downs

Planes taking off and approaching Gatwick Airport (I wonder if Mattd2k is aviating thiws morning?)

and I am sure you can identify many more.
