Eastbourne to Cuckmere Haven

10 July. Despite the looming clouds, a small intrepid group of us kept going for as long as the weather allowed. We enjoyed the morning walk along the beach from Eastbourne, then  up a steep hill from Holy Well Cafe to Beachy Head, followed by a gentle uphill to East Dean. There we had lunch at the Hikers Cafe. After lunch we made it to Friston Church, which unfortunately was not open (see below for a picture of the stained glass, taken on the recce). And then the Heavens opened just as we started down Crowlink. So for health and safety – not to mention discomfort – we had to abandon the Sisters and take a bus to Seaford and home. Patricia.
