Walk Description:

This is a lovely walk as the scenery is constantly changing. You spend time in the magnificent woodland area.

You are then treated to wonderful views in the open spaces and then enjoy the village of East Dean. 

The route will vary depending on conditions. It can be a circular or there are various options for out and back.  

The route does include some steep hills, which makes it unsuitable for beginners. Once we are on the higher ground it is relatively flat.

This is a great walk, we have allowed 2 hours to ensure we have time to enjoy our time being outside and taking in the surroundings without rushing.     

East Dean is 4 minutes away by car. Coffee at the star and Garter.   

 

  

 

 

PACE Explained:

 

PACE 1  Approximately 3 to 3.5 miles per hour. A comfortable pace for anyone who wants to walk and talk. There is time to stop and take photos etc.  

 

PACE 2 Approximately 3.5 to 4.5 miles per hour. This is a steady pace which might make your breathing a little heavier, especially on the hills. 

 

PACE 3 Approximately 4.5 to 5 miles per hour. This is for the more experienced walker who knows they can push the pace. There will be times where they will be breathless but there is also recovery (usually on the flat or downhill).  

 

Please be assured that we have a NO DROP POLICY (no none gets left behind) and the walk leaders will always ensure we use different methods to cater for different needs within the group.
