Rambling down South Downs Way

The cute village of Alfriston (where we stayed)
The beginning of our two-day journey. Looking at the map already says it all.....
We were walking through fields of cows, sheep and horses...
After our picnic lunch, looking over Seven Sisters Cliffs
Oh yeah baby!

Following like sheep...
We caught the train down south to Berwick on Saturday morning where the people we were staying with picked us up and drove us to Alfriston. We walked over 25km on the first day through the fields, over the hills (small ones), around the cliffs and amongst some of the most beautiful countryside I have ever seen. We made it to Eastbourne in the late afternoon and caught the train back to Berwick. Went for dinner at local pub, only to find a kiwi serving us! Then missioned our way back to Alfriston through more corn fields and shrubs in a desperate rush before the sun went down.

Sunday was packed with lots more walking, but this time in paddocks with sheep and bigger hills overlooking Lewes and Firle. Made our way to the bottom for another pub lunch with the locals and then onto Lewes to catch the train back to London.

Never knew I had so many muscles in my legs, but I surely knew about them on Monday morning. Such a lovely way to see the English countryside, and we were absolutely blessed with the weather. Enjoy the photos!
