Buy a return to Eastbourne c.£16 and catch the 10:33 to Lewes, arrive 11:17, change to 11:29 for Seaford, arrive 11:47, then 126 bus to Alfriston at 12:20, arrive 12:33.
Coffee break in Seaford but afternoon pub/picnic at The Eight Bells, Jevington The inland route but including a walk on the Wealdway to the coast near Beachy Head and then along the seafront at Eastbourne.
Possible dropoff after 7 miles (1 mile to station or wait for 12 bus). Late back to East Croydon (19:45?)
Update: Straight off when we arrive at 1233 and a long ascent before dropping down to afternoon lunch at Jevington after 4.5 miles. Another 3 miles with another long ascent before the dropoff, but weather permitting I will continue for a further 2 miles to the end of the SDW at Holywell on the cliffs (sorry no tea there as cafe shuts at 4pm), then another mile along the seafront to the station (via an icecream kiosk).
