Overview

This walk is designed to let people try a faster pace without fear of being left behind. Everyone walks the same first 10 miles over the Seven Sisters towards Exceat, where we will have a lunch stop. This group will then complete a medium-length walk through the rolling East Sussex countryside.

The full route is 17 miles and finishes in Berwick; then train back to Lewes where we can reconvene with the whole group.

Everyone is encouraged to join at Lewes for drinks, food and socialising.

To complete a 10 mile route, catch a bus at Exceat.

To walk a 14 mile route, wait at Exceat to be picked up by another group - see the other walk listing ('Short Version').

To walk a 20+ mile route, ensure you are at the front of the walk and listen for instructions (see 'Long Version'). If you change your mind, wait at the lunch stop to be collected by this group.

Terrain: Hilly clifftop paths, fields, woods, country roads

Travel: Take 8:54 from London Victoria (9:01 Clapham Junction, 9:10 East Croydon), arr. Eastbourne 10:17. Buy return to Eastbourne.
