4 people attending
41 places left
This event is intended for attendees at Big Summer Camp 2023.
A very easy and relaxed 7 mile circular walk with a stop for lunch at a public houses and maybe a few more in the afternoon for some additional refreshments.
From the campsite we'll head East to Highdown Hill where we should have some good views towards the South Downs and out over the coastal towns. Then we'll head north to the village of Patching (via the first pub stop) before circling back via Angmering village. (There is a small Co-Op in Angmering to gather those last minute essentials or another drinking spot on the outskirts of the village).
