Overview

Ther is a limit of 20 people for this walk and it's essential to book.  Please use the email link after Saturday 19 April to book your place.

Up and over the South Downs, enjoying great countryside scenery, castle views and riverside.  There are two long climbs in the morning.  Lunch is at The George, Burpham and there are benches nearby for those with picnics.  If you want a pub lunch please email by Tuesday 13 May at the latest.  

After lunch we have a slightly longer walk with one short climb.  We follow the River Arun to South Stoke, then turn towards Arundel, where there are toilets and a possibility of tea, beer or ice cream.  Return trains are usually two an hour.
