This walk is a late addition to the programme. It should reward us with some great views from the top of the Downs on the outward section. Our return route will be along the easy lower tracks and paths. The total ascent amounts to 1100 feet and nearly three quarters of this is in the steepish section near the beginning.
 
Please bring cars to The Level at 9.45am if you are driving from Brighton, as there will probably be people there requiring lifts, and we don’t want anyone left behind. The walk will start from the public car park in Firle village at around 10.15am.

Our lunch stop (likely to be for a maximum of 75 minutes) will be in Alfriston, so you can either bring a picnic or have something to eat in one of the pubs and cafés. There is also the option of having a drink at the Ram Inn after the walk.
 
I hope that you can join me on the walk.  Keep your fingers crossed that we see some sunshine.
