East Dean and Seven Sisters circular - 9.5 miles

A 9.5 mile circular walk with great views on a clear day. From East Dean over to Birling Gap at c. 2.5 miles where we'll stop for a short break (toilets!) before walking over the Seven Sisters to Cuckmere Haven and on to Exceat where we'll stop for a picnic lunch at c. 6 miles. Cafe and toilets. Lunch may not be until 2pm depending on how people get on with the Sisters so bring snacks if needed. Returning via Friston Forest to East Dean.

This is a hilly walk! The Seven Sisters are not to be underestimated and have long climbs and descents but with fabulous views as a reward!

The Brighton and Hove Group of The Ramblers and its leaders accept no responsibility for any claims arising from the activities of the group. All walk leaders must be fully paid-up members of the Ramblers Association.

All sporting and leisure activities have inherent hazards associated with them and rambling is no exception. In spite of the safety of members being the paramount concern, accidents will occasionally occur. It is important, therefore, that when entering into the activity, each member appreciates that they have a responsibility to identify the hazards and take all reasonable steps to eliminate or minimise the potential for an accident to arise.
