This walk will look to make the most of the expected good weather as we walk from Hassocks, up to the impressive Ditchling Beacon and then follow the Sussex boarder path north towards Haywards Heath.
We will pass near many smaller villages, where we can divert to if a pub stop is desired.
Please bring a packed lunch.
This is a 19.5 mile strenuous walk, with 550 meters of ascent. I will walk to the pace of the group but please do ensure you bring 2 litres of water and are prepared to be in the sun for most of the day.
Travel: Take the 9:16 from London Victoria (9:23 Clapham Junction, 9:34 East Croydon), arriving 10:13 Hassocks.
Buy a return to Hassocks.
The meeting point is the east-side station car park (please be mindful of cars dropping off at the station).
