Overview

A 10 mile moderate to brisk paced walk over undulating terrain.

Route: A coastal walk starting at Hastings along the cliffs to Fairlight and to Pett Level. Thereafter fairly flat terrain to Winchelsea. At this time of year there is a slight possibility that a section of the end of the walk will be after civil twilight (sunset: 17:01, civil twilight: 17:36). Please bring a torch. Option to extend the walk to Rye, plus 2 miles.

Drop out points: Taxi from pub after 5 miles, infrequent 101 bus from Pett Level after 7 miles.

Food: Pub lunch at The Cove, Waites Lane, Fairlight, TN35 4AX - this pub is fairly popular, so they may be unable to provide lunch - advise bringing a snack/picnic.

Travel: 9:15 Charing Cross, calling at Waterloo East 9:18, London Bridge 9:24, and arriving Hastings 10:47.  Buy a CDR to Winchelsea (or Rye if you wish to extend the walk to there).
