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.

This will be a warm up and walk to Grimley Hill of about 1.5 miles where we will do a series of hill intervals working at a our own appropriate intensity but it will be challenging.

The beauty of the hill is that we can all work in the same general area at our own pace but push ourselves appropriately.

If you want a social walk then this one is not for you but if you want to work hard with minimal chat then you  will enjoy the challenge.

Some people will choose to walk up the hill several times and some will skip or run.  It is up to you but the nature of the hill will means that you will be working at 70-85% of your MHR throughout the hill section.

After the hill session we will warm down by walking back to the Queen's Head for coffee and a natter.

As you can choose to work as hard as you want to the session is suitable for all who are wanting to work really hard to their own fitness level and Carol will encourage you.

We will have fun too with a series of games on the hill to keep things fresh and entertaining.

Please do not book if you just want a social walk.

Check the title of the walk for more information.
