Polegate to Seaford

Jane Rosoux writes.. "I attach photographs which I took on today's joint Hampstead / South Bank / Hammersmith, Fulham and Wandsworth Group walk from Polegate to Seaford led by Clare Kirkbride. A party of 26 set out from Polegate at 10.15 am, including participants from the Kensington, Chelsea and Westminster, Brentwood and North West London Groups as well as three who were not Ramblers' Association members.





The day was cold but dry and started off sunny but gradually clouded over. In the morning we followed the 1066 Country Walk to Jevington and then the South Downs Way to Alfriston for the lunch stop.



After lunch we departed from the route in the programme and climbed up on the ridge to the north of Seaford before dropping down to Bishopstone where there was a converted tithe barn...



...and an old church with a sundial above the porch...






After negotiating an unusual stile...



...and passing through Bishopstone Station we walked along Seaford front and arrived at Seaford Station at around 4.20 pm, having covered 14 miles at around 3 mph."

Thank You Jane.
