Overview

For this walk we’ve got a couple of stiff climbs, one up and one steep descent.

We’ve done much of this walk before but it’s still worth it hopefully for panoramic views, we had limited views and some mud for the recce but still enjoyed.

We start from Firle and up on to the South Downs Way descending to the edge of Alfriston and making our way back via Winton, Berwick, Alciston and along the undulating Coach Road. We know these are interesting, historic villages.

Please bring a snack and a picnic.Please text the leader if you plan to join this walk.

If you decide to come on the day please ensure you are ready for a 10am start and please check the website in case of cancellation.
