This is a hilly walk, about six and a half miles, with a total ascent of 812 ft.We start of going up the hill to the Friston Church, then turning left to go down the Crow Link to the cliffs. Turning left, heading towards Birling Gap - we go up and down three of the Seven Sisters. There are toilets at Birling Gap and we could go in the cafe for a drink and snack - if its not to busy. Walking along a path on the lower part of the cliff - we turn left to cross the road to go down the lane to Cornish Farm - further on to Birling Farm, and back to East Dean. I don`t remember any stiles, but you need to be fairly fit for the hills.
You might want to bring a packed lunch and it is advisable to bring something to drink, to avoid dehydration. We will stop part- way round for a lunch stop.

Our Ethos
We are an inclusive social hiking group with walkers of all abilities, fitness levels, and health
statuses, whose walks are accessible by public transport.
We walk at an inclusive but moderate pace & like to stay together. Should we concertina, we
will regather, allowing people to get their breath back before moving on, particularly on the
climbs.
Please treat others as you would wish to be treated yourself.
There is ONE walk leader per walk to avoid confusion.
We run group walks, we start together, walk together, lunch together & finish together.
