Base jumpers parachute from Beachy Head

Eastbourne Council are warning people to stay away from the edge after footage was released of a group of so-called daredevils jumping off Beachy Head with parachutes.

The sixteen jumpers leaped from the 530ft cliff in East Sussex on Sunday in a bid to change the areas reputation for tragedy.

It's not the first time people have been warned about going to close to the cliffs at the beauty spot.

Andy spoke to photographer Jack Adams

As with all natural or wild environments it is important to take care. This applies to everyone, whether simply walking or involved in other leisure pursuits and sports. Members of the public should always stay a safe distance away from the cliff edge at Beachy Head and away from the cliff face when relaxing on the beach beneath.''
