Herstmonceux - Pevensey Levels - Evening Walk

I am often asked about evening walks, particularly by people who work or have other responsibilities during the day, so here you have one 😊. We should be able to take in an amazing sunset if it all turns out ok. The scheduled 'Civil Twilight' for the 29th June is 22:09 and I hope we will see a good sunset. The 9.30 finish time is approximate.

The Event:
A circular walk of about 5 miles starting and finishing at Herstmonceux. We will walk south of Herstmonceux across the Pevensey Levels. We we will pass close to the castle and also through All Saints church.
We will walk at a medium to leisurely pace and there will be interesting features to stop and look at along the way. The terrain is not particularly challenging.
We will take a 20 minute break during the walk. It should be dry but you might want to bring something to sit on. There will not be an opportunity to purchase food during the walk, so please bring a packed lunch if you wish to eat anything when we take the break.

Fee:
There is a £1 'Event Fee' chargeable per person for this event that is payable on the day. Please note that I conduct at least one recce of the intended route prior to all of my walks, regardless of whether it is a walk that is familiar to me or not. Some of my walks use routes that have been designed by others and some I design from scratch using suitable public footpaths, permissive paths, bridleways etc. In exceptional circumstances changes to the intended route may have to be made on the day, and this could result in a change in the length of the walk.

Assembly in Herstmonceux free long stay car park off West End:
We will assemble at 18:30. The walk will commence at 18:45, or sooner if all attendees are present.

Parking:
Quite a few spaces in the free long stay car park off West End, or plenty of roadside parking in the surrounding area if the spaces run out. There is also a toilet block in the car park, however I do not know if this will be open. Always read the parking terms and conditions on display as these can change without notice.

Additional Information:
🐕 Unfortunately this event is not suitable for dogs.
The ground is expected to be dry. Please wear footwear that is suitable for walking along paths, fields and woods. Walking boots are strongly recommended.
We will be walking along some quiet country lanes for short parts of the walk.
A light waterproof jacket is recommended if showers are forecast.
Please bring with you an adequate supply of water for the walk.
