Geoff's Seven Sisters Walk, Linear, 13.5 miles, Strenuous

A classic 13.5 mile coastal walk from Seaford to Eastbourne, incorporating the stunning views of the iconic Seven Sisters. We will start at Seaford and begin with a steep climb up Seaford Head before following the cliffs to Cuckmere Haven. En route you will see the classic view of the Seven Sisters and the famous cottages. We will stop at the Seven Sisters Visitor Centre for a short refueling stop before we launch ourselves onto the 7 Sisters which lie between Cuckmere Haven and Birling Gap. You will be rewarded by lunch at Birling Gap, with shop, cafe and toilets. It's then only 5.5 miles back to Eastbourne via Beachy Head. We will be stopping for photo opportunities. Please bring your own picnic food as cafes en route get very busy & queues will be long. The 12/12X Coastliner bus runs the length of the walk and this can be used to make the route shorter if needed. This whole route is covered by the £3 price cap. Alternatively, you have the option of parking the car in Eastbourne (ie, NCP) and taking the bus to Seaford, before the start of the walk, so car will be at the finish point. Rough distances are Seaford to Cuckmere Haven 4 miles, Cuckmere Haven to Birling Gap 3 miles, Birling Gap to Beachy Head 3.5 miles, Beachy Head to Eastbourne 3 miles. Subject to walk leaders approval we allow well-behaved dogs under full control of their owner. If you wish to bring your dog on the walk, please check with the walk leader before arriving for the walk. Our walk finishes at Eastbourne Pier. It's then a short walk to the 12/12X bus stop on Gildredge Road ( Stop G1 ) close to the Station. Please note that there is a £2 payment required for non-Ramblers members to help cover our Meetup costs. Please help the walk leader by bringing the exact change. Members of the Ramblers Association are welcome on any of our walks, but we would still encourage you to RSVP on Meetup. This will give our volunteer walk leaders an idea of how many are attending, and also to keep the numbers manageable. If, on the day of the walk, you are still on the waiting list and a Ramblers member, you can attend just let the walk leader know you are coming by adding a comment 'Coming as a Rambler'. You will find the start location via our website Our Walks (westkentwalkinggroup.org.uk).
