Free day today so decided to venture east for a stroll along the South Downs Way. Excellent weather forecast .... and came true! Started out from Seven Sister's Country Park and headed down towards Cuckmere Haven. Climbed up onto the cliffs and had a fantastic walk in glorious sunshine over to Birling Gap. Topped up the water bottle, then passing Belle Tout light continued up to Beachy Head. Lunch in the sun with a sea view, then back down to Belle Tout. Turned north up passed Cornish Farm to East Dean, then on to Alfriston Forest. Followed a path through the woods to above the Visitor Centre, then dropped down back to the car. Stunning views, great walk ...... a very pleasant outing.

Thanks for the pics. Pretty much followed that route a couple of weeks back.

Makes me want to junp in my car tomorrow and drive down there, especially as the footpaths round me seem to be getting shut down (F&M)
