Sussex
During the end of March/beginning of April, gothyjdarkstar and I went camping in West Sussex! gothyjdarkstar organised the campsite and we ended up about 2 or 3 miles from the village where I grew up! It was pretty cool, as I hadn't really explored the area at all as an adult, as I moved to London when I was 17.
gothyjdarkstar had a transgender convention in Eastbourne the weekend before, so I got a lift down then and stayed with my Mum for the weekend and saw some of my family. On the Sunday, I went down to see my brother, John, and his family in Worthing. My little sister, Jane (John's twin) and her husband, Terry, also came over.

On the Monday, gothyjdarkstar picked me up from my Mum's and about 10 minutes later (if that!), we arrived at Blacklands Farm Campsite! It was a cool campsite and had lots of concrete animals so that you really felt like you were in the countryside!
(mind you, didn't Milton Keynes do something similar in the 70s?).
Day one was spent on the mid-Sussex coast (Worthing and Brighton).
West Pier (the remains!), Brighton
Worthing Pier
