Description -
He's Back!
My first try out hike as leader and walker after my recent medical emergency, so it's an easy, moderately paced health walk with additional extensions for the 'fittys'.

We'll start at the Palace Pier and take in some of the iconic sights of Brighton as we proceed on the King's new path to the Hove Lagoon. For extra distance feel free to walk back, or commence at the Marina, join us at the Pier for the start and then return to your car at the Marina afterwards.
Basically, it's modular, it can be as long or as short as you want to make it 5km to 15km - your call.
Plenty of opportunities to chat, take refreshment, admire or denigrate the architecture & take photographs along the way.
Distance - 5 km -10km + / 3.1 -6.2 + approx depending on 'modules'
Pace - Inclusive & Moderate
Elevation - 1m up & 7m down
Start time - 10:30 / 13:30 approx.,depending on pace

Who We Are & How We Do Things

By RSVPing to an event you agree to having had the opportunity to have read all the following & to agree to abide by the guidelines. You accept that any activity such as walking comes with its own dangers & challenges and on that basis you accept responsibility for your own health & safety & will not compromise that of others.

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.
Cancellations & Delays
If you can't attend an event you have signed up for, please change your RSVP status to ‘Not Going’ as soon as possible, so no-one waits unnecessarily for you.
If you are going to be late, please message. Some Walk Leaders will provide their phone number if requested as Meetup messages can be delayed.
Not changing your RSVP status or informing the walk leader may result in your being removed from the group.
Leaving A Walk
If you have to leave a walk early, even for a short period, ensure the Walk Leader knows and has acknowledged that.
Becoming Ill Or Injured
If you become ill or injured during a hike, kindly inform the walk leader, or ask another walker to do so for you.
