Meeting place for all walks, unless otherwise stated, is North Street Car Park, Lewes at 9.30am prompt. All walks finish at around 1 pm unless otherwise stated. The ‘Finish Time’ is the actual end of the walk, not the time back at Lewes. All phone numbers are 01273 prefix, unless otherwise stated.
Strolls. These have been introduced to the programme to cater for those members who need to walk at a more leisurely pace than before. The emphasis is on a leisurely pace. There is no rush and there will always be time for anybody at the back to catch up if needs be. Strolls are no more than 3.5 miles long and usually less than that. They can be hilly in places but hills will not be long and steep and hilly strolls will be shorter to accommodate the slower pace up hills.
Rambles. These are what may be considered as normal walks of old. The pace will be faster than a stroll but slower walkers will be accommodated if they fall behind. It is important to note the type of countryside a ramble is going through. By definition, hilly countryside will be more taxing than a flat walk. Most rambles will be morning walks but some may extend into the afternoon.
Pub: Public House at end of walk.
Pub-e-R: Public house stop en route.
Picnic: Bring a picnic
Picnic/Pub: Bring a picnic or use the public house en-route
