A guided country walk of about six miles with some fairly steep and unmade paths. From the car park, the walk goes back through the village and across the main road to climb up a narrow road to the top. It crosses the South Downs Way to go straight on through fields, and then turns right onto a track which passes the memorial to John Harvey. Another track leads round to meet the South Downs Way. The return journey offers magnificent views of the sea and the coastline. We will lunch in the Village Hall around 1.00 pm. Afterwards, people may choose to visit Monks House, which is open to the public in the afternoon (entrance fee not included).
Tickets @ £12 (non-refundable; make cheques payable to ‘Virginia Woolf Society’), available from Wendy Grierson, 8 Duke Humphrey Rd, London SE3 0TY, will include the walk and lunch (please specify any dietary requirements).
