Grade: Moderate
Duration: 1 day
This route starts in the lovely old town of Lewes and follows part of the famously scenic South Downs Way. The walk goes over rolling hills and high ridges dotted with long barrows and ancient earthworks, often accompanied by magnificent vistas down to the sea. Then the path takes you on stiff climbs and descents before the spectacular final stretch over the famous white chalk cliffs of the Seven Sisters. The grand finale is the highest chalk sea cliff in England – the beautiful headland of Beachy Head, near Eastbourne.
This is a tough event over rolling downs and cliffs; at 26 miles, it forms an enormous challenge for walkers. There will be full support throughout the challenge with marshals and water stops along the route.
