No Englishman/woman.<br />All walkers stayed the course, as far as can be ascertained (three walked ahead of the main group at various points and were not seen again, all 3 though had said they wanted to walk all the way to E'bourne).<br />We cut out the out-and-back to the Iron Age hillfort near Lewes and simplified the route in Glynde, so probably walked 'only' 36.5 km of the 37.5 km my gpx file suggested the full route had.<br />Brilliant weather at the start of the walk, a little too humid for some around lunch and even with a few short attempts to break out into drizzle, but then dry with cloud cover and a friendly breeze form the front after Birling Gap. <br />Lunch at The George Inn in Alfriston, where - as part of the four-day village fete - we were treated to the Eastbourne & District Scottish Pipe Band marching past the pub. Later a tea stop at Birling Gap (there is now a cafe in the lighthouse east of Birling Gap as well).<br />The 18.58 train we narrowly missed, so the Wetherspoon's opposite gained some business. Excellent day out in pleasant company.Thomas Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01298846868417688062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665817.post-82289820410084111932015-08-29T22:46:31.887+01:002015-08-29T22:46:31.887+01:00I walked from Lewes to Seaford.

The old rota had it scheduled for August. I can certainly recommend that walk (Glynde to Seaford) for anyone who does not fancy a longer walk, in which case buy a (slightly cheaper?) day return to Seaford.DAChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11248487802952116209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665817.post-317818341473453002015-08-25T19:56:02.923+01:002015-08-25T19:56:02.923+01:00Looking forward to do the long walk.Looking forward to do the long walk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665817.post-20642531609303412522015-08-25T15:43:54.217+01:002015-08-25T15:43:54.217+01:00Both wonderful walks and a good challenging

Is there a 10/10 walk in the wings?<br /> <br />Seriously, this looks like two 8/10 walks back-to-back. Isn't it about time we dropped the artificial "out of 10" part of the Toughness rating to cater for this type of walk, which is far longer and tougher than anything in the original Time Out books?Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10491475051270094030noreply@blogger.com
