š **About Your Host - Matt**
I work as a doctor in A&E and Iāve always found that time spent outdoors helps me recharge, especially with the pressures of city life and work. I grew up in rural Devon and have spent thousands of hours immersed in nature - and I love showing others how even a short walk can shift your mindset, boost your mood, and help you feel more present.
No need to be a wildlife expert ā Iāll point out birds and other wildlife along the way, and youāll leave with a few simple tips to help you enjoy your own walks even more in future.
This is a welcoming group ā whether you come solo or with a friend ā and a great way to combine light exercise, real conversation, and a bit of calm in your week.
**Hope to see you there!**

š„¾ **Hike Description**
This is Outdooraholicsā most popular hike, a dramatic and exhilarating journey across the chalk cliffs of Sussex that we have been leading for over 12 years. The **Seven Sisters** are a spectacular series of gleaming white chalk cliffs formed at the end of the last Ice Age by glacial meltwater. Erosion has since created an āeighth sister,ā and today the cliffs stand as one of Englandās most iconic landscapes.
We begin in the coastal town of **Seaford**, home to a Napoleonic-era **Martello Tower** built in 1810 as part of a chain of 103 coastal defences against French invasion. From here, the trail climbs onto the cliff tops, where for much of the day we walk high above the sea, treated to endless coastal views and fresh sea air.
Our route follows the **South Downs Way**, passing through **Birling Gap** and past the striking **Belle Tout Lighthouse**, famously moved 17 metres inland in 1999 to save it from falling into the sea. The final highlight is **Beachy Head**, a dramatic beauty spot with sheer chalk cliffs dropping into the sea below.
We finish in **Eastbourne**, statistically Englandās sunniest town, where we celebrate our coastal adventure with refreshments in a local pub.

**Cliffs ā danger**
There are sheer drops off the cliffs and some of these soft chalk cliffs are crumbling at the edges with chunks regularly falling and no fencing in place. Please keep at least 3 metres away from the edges. If you fall, or the ground at the edge of the cliff collapses it will almost certainly be fatal.

Depending on the aura and if the event goes well, we may do an aftermath and let democracy decide.

Seven Sisters the Britannia way- (14 or 18 miles)
On William Camden's birthday in 1551, this walk to hikers' favourite Seven Sisters adopts a course from his chorography of this country *Britannia:*
*"From Lewes, passing by a large lake well-fill'd with fish, near Furle, the seat of the Gages (who, advancing their estate by marriage with one of the heirs of the house of St. Clare, became a Family of good note) we come to Cuckmer, a pretty good Harbour. Then, having pass'd the promontory, call'd from the beach, Beachy."*
The ancient town of Alfriston will have thrived in Camden's day. Perhaps he visited the 15th-C *Star* one of England's oldest inns with its magnificent carved woodwork. Look out also for the remains of the medieval market cross, and 14th-C Priests' House.
Then we'll enjoy Seven Sisters sights, and Birling Gap with its beach.
Two options for finishing: Inland from Birling Gap is East Dean from where a regular £3 bus will take you to Eastbourne - 14 miles. Or continue along the coast to Eastbourne is 18 miles for those wanting a longer walk.

IMPORTANT
Please bear in mind this is a free of charge, self-guided trip with a hobby group. It is not organized by a business nor any entity with commercial purposes.
Any trip details, travel advice, route planning, instructions and other content in our group merely represent our shared personal knowledge, research and suggestions as outdoor enthusiasts. As this is no business, there is no "product", "service" or "package" and also no "tour guide", "operator" or "walk leader".
Each participant is responsible for their own safety. Even if some of us are very experienced walking outdoors, nobody assumes responsibility for any kind of injury, damage or loss that may happen.
Despite this, we take extreme precautions and all trips we plan are very safe, fun, highly educational and popular. Our experienced members volunteer their time and effort to shape a pleasant and quality adventure for everyone :-)
By participating you acknowledge and agree with this disclaimer.
Here are our tips on staying safe during outdoor trips:
http://www.meetup.com/Free-Outdoor-Trips-From-London/about/
TRAVEL, ACCOMMODATION, INSURANCE
Although we provide detailed suggestions, each participant is expected to arrange their own travel and (if required) accommodation - this gives everyone the freedom and choice to join from wherever they want and stay wherever they want. Anyone interested in travel or outdoor insurance should also arrange this on their own. As mentioned above we always take extreme precautions, but some people may still feel safer if covered.
We advise not to buy tickets until the day. People getting tickets from the same station are encouraged to meet early on the day to benefit from discounts such as GroupSave.
