Depart London Victoria 8:47, change at Lewes. Southwards to the South Downs Way, along the crest of the downs, lunching in the Cuckmere valley, then west to Cradle Hill and Norton village, afterwards north to Firle and Glynde. Brisk pace. 45-minute picnic lunch; tea stop, time permitting. Return trains 22 min past the hour. Glyndingly beautiful scenery compensating for glindingly undulating route. Map OS Exp 123 but 122 would be useful if you intend to drop out for an earlier return train. Please phone leader for any further information. Ldr Clare Kirkbride
