Ian has just returned from a two day trip to the South Downs.The trip had two purposes - to fine tune the social programme of our forthcoming New Year trip to this beautiful part of Sussex and to do a final check on our walking programme.
The area has some superb downland and weald scenery, beautiful deciduous woodland and pretty villages.
Ian was well looked after by Dean's Place Country Hotel in Alfriston - the base for our South Downs walking break. Today's walk followed the Cuckmere river for a short distance to emerge into the pretty riverside village of Littlington, and thence into a tranquil green combe and up through the Friston forest to emerge into the high downland above the village of Jevington, nestling in the hills. The walk descended down over the Wilmington Long Man and returned to Alfriston. A great walk on a VERY chilly day!
There's no room left on our Festive trips in Sussex, but why not check it out in the spring or summer (guided or self-guided)

I've only been on the South Downs Way for one day but I'm totally hooked and hope to stretch my legs on those hills again soon. I know Footpath will make the trek most enjoyable.
