I walked this route on Monday and the good news is spring has reached the Surrey Hills. This really is too good a walk to miss.The scenery is wonderful, much of the walk is on well drained sand or firm tracks and we even pass a pub used in filming "4 Weddings and A Funeral." Furthermore, we have a decent forecast for Saturday.

The bad news is  the March downpours and the April showers have also done their work, so boots will be needed and poles may help if you like a…

Please join us for a 10.5 mile circular walk around the coastal town of Seaford. Highlights include the interesting lost village of Tide Mills, Seaford Head, Hope Gap, and the iconic view of the Seven Sisters from the old Fisherman’s cottages above Cuckmere Haven. The initial section along the length of the seafront promenade is flat, but then we climb steeply and the remainder of the route also has hills, with around 1750 feet of ascent / descent in total.

Lunch will be in the centre…

It's March so it must be Christmas! We've had a great deal from The Hilton Brighton Metropole to host this year's Christmas Lunch on Thursday 13^th December (time to be confirmed) in their splendid belle epoque 1890 restaurant, overlooking the…

Sussex Community NHS Trust will be hosting a Wellbeing@Work Festival on Tuesday 1st May (12-3 pm) at Brighton General Hospital. The festival is to encourage NHS staff to make healthier choices for their physical and mental well-being and BAHR will be participating to promote walking, our group and, of course, the national Ramblers.

If you are a current or former NHS employee it would be great to have you along sharing your experiences. If you are interested please contact Wendy Tidman…

Eastbourne Council and Lewes Council are, once again, putting on the Eastbourne and Lewes Walk Fest. Some of our members live in these areas and walk with us so it would be good for BAHR to support this initiative which is getting more popular each year. If you would like to lead a walk in/around Eastbourne or Lewes please contact Desmond Anderson (…

Hello all, Paul has regrettably had to cancel his Hurstwood walk tomorrow (11th March) until later in the year as it is waterlogged and has mud deeper than walking boots can manage!

We have arranged a replacement walk from Saltdean to Rodmell (the excellent Abergavenny arms) and back. This starts at 10am from Saltdean Lido and is accessible by bus or car.

Details in the following link.…

Hello Thursday Walkers ,

Diana led a really enjoyable 5 mile winter wonderland walk today around the perimeter of Stammer Park today . Trouble was Carol and I where the only ones to turn up! The A27 was clear as a bell, no ice and hardly any traffic. Thank you for going ahead with the walk Diana ,we thought it was the best walk in ages ,so beautiful with the snow and the wind in the trees.

Due to the fact heavy snow and winds are forecast for tomorrow I think the Bo Peep Car Park will be too dangerous so this walk is cancelled. Weather permitting I will lead a local walk instead, if you are interested please come to Preston Park or ring me in the morning using the number on the programme. 

Just a request for those attending this walk. There is a small car park in Fletching which may only have limited space. If possible please come to Preston Park Station at 9-30 so that we can arrange for the fewest cars to travel. If you have a full car by all means go direct.

Interesting article from the BBC regarding magnets in clothing effecting compass readings.

Hi everybody, the forecast is good (at the moment), who knows, even the mud may have dried up.

This walk starts and finishes early to allow everyone to either go to the Albion Cup game (starts at 3) or to escape the bedlam in good time! Be aware that there has been some fairly crazy match-day parking at Wild Park, so you may want to consider your getaway if parking there!

In view of recent discussions, this is an assistance dog (and Humans) walk only.

Meeting…

The national ramblers web site is very positive about dogs on ramblers walks. In the group walks section it says

" Bring your dog

We know that many people enjoy walking with their four-legged friends, so we encourage all our walking groups to allow dogs on walks. Registered Assistance Dogs are allowed on any walk."



It is disappointing to see that Brighton and Hove Ramblers is further discouraging dogs and their humans from walking with the group by increasing the…

Hi all,

Two messages for the walk on Saturday first off the start time for the walk is wrong it should be 10.15. Thanks to Jules for spotting it and apologies from me for not spotting it. 

Message number two is can anyone confirm they are bringing a car to Preston Park on Saturday morning so I can be sure of a lift (public transport to Alfriston is a bit of a pain) and Jules is also hoping to get a lift there.

Weather's looking ok but there will be some mud.

See…

Hello.

Due to very muddy conditions around Ditchling I have modified the route to avoid Ditchling and make The Half Moon at Plumpton our lunchtime stop. Distance is now 12 rather than 11 miles. All other details remain unchanged but please check beforehand.

Hope to see you on Sunday!

Cheers,

Stuart

Join me this Saturday for a varied 9-10 mile walk with stunning views - starting in old Shoreham, climbing onto the downs via Mill Hill and heading north to Beeding Hill before dropping down into Upper Beeding for a pub lunch at the Kings Head. Returning to Shoreham along the west bank of the River Adur and the Shoreham Toll Bridge. Very hilly pre-lunch; flat and likely to be muddy after lunch.

We are meeting at the Red Lion pub in Shoreham at 10am. The No. 2 bus…
