Come bring your stories to the floor. Let them move. Let the wisdom of your body move them. ๐ฟ
And sometimes - we just need to MOVE... inside the hall and out in the orchard.
**Come BE-Moved!** ๐
Bring yourself as you are. And let's do it. Alone, together, more together in community, than alone!
See you on the dance floor.

Amberley to Worthing โ South Downs backcountry paths & Cissbury Ring
**WHAT TO EXPECT - HIKING INFO**
Distance: **25km** (c. 15 miles)
Ascent: c. **585m**
Estimated Duration (approx): **7 hours walking (moderate pace 4km/hr)**
Difficulty: **Energetic**
**HIGHLIGHT**
ยท Great views from Amberley Mount and Rackman Hill
ยท Undulating paths over the downs heading south towards Worthing
ยท Slow ascents and descents on remote paths away from South Downs Way
ยท Visit the ancient and most historic hill fort in Sussex โ The Cissbury Ring.
ยท Optional sea swim at the end!
**DESCRIPTION**
*This walk is on paths less travelled over South Downs rolling hills with fantastic views along the way. There is an optional sea swim at the end for those who want to cool off after a good dayโs walk.*
This is a beautiful part of the south downs with fantastic views and rolling hills - and with some neolithic and bronze age history along our way.
We start our walk in Amberley as we head up our first hill onto the South Downs to Rackman Hill for fantastic views looking north towards the North Downs โ hopefully we will have good views on the day.
We then head south over rolling hills and forlorn paths, meeting locals who know the less travelled parts of the south downs. I have chosen a route which meanders past other settlement hills and hopefully with views over to the sea. We pass Finden for a refreshment stop after 14km (no pub stops before then).
We then head over to Cissbury Ring โ the oldest hill fort on the South Downs Way. It boasts much history - a neolithic flint mines, bronze age burial ground, iron age hill fort, a roman mint, a tudor vantage point before it was investigated archeologically by the Victorians. Then onto Worthing for a drink and a swim!
Option at this stage is to head back to London or go down to Worthing Pier and have a swim.
*ps. My walks make time to enjoy the views, take in local history, and look at interesting buildings along the way.*

\- From there itโs miles of rolling\, knobbly oak and beech woodland โ some trees as old as the Anglo\-Saxons โ climbing gently to the High Beach ridge at 115m\, the dayโs high point\.
\- A long\, lovely descent through Sewardstone drops us out of the trees and into the Lee Valley: marshes\, lakes\, reedbeds\, and the calm of the Lee Navigation towpath all the way into Cheshunt\.
โโ
**โญ๏ธHIGHLIGHTS:**
* **Chingford & Queen Elizabethโs Hunting Lodge:** 1543 Tudor grandstand on the edge of the Forest.

LondonJamSessions x TAM MIC DROP (20 Second Chain) #35
I am proud to announce that we having our jam at the Temple Of Art & Music in Elephant & Castle!!
20 Second Chain:
A structured improvisation format where a musical โchainโ unfolds organically, with each player responding to and building on what came before.
Lineup (on stage together):
- 2 guitarists
- 1 bass
- 1 drummer
- 1โ2 singers
- 1 additional instrument (sax, trumpet, percussion, etc.)
How It Works:
1. All musicians on stage are assigned a number, which determines the playing order.
2. Playing order, a key (and available chords) is written on a whiteboard opposite the stage.
3. Number 1 begins alone with a simple idea for 20 seconds โ leave space for others to build.
4. Every 20 seconds, the next numbered musician joins one at a time, layering something that complements whatโs already happening.
5. Once everyone has entered and the full band is playing, the group improvises for 5 minutes, developing the groove โ complexity and solos can grow naturally.
6. No on-stage planning โ listen and respond in real time.
7. After the timer ends, the group rotates and a new chain begins.
The Temple Of Art and Music is a live music venue and bar in Elephant & Castle so I encourage anyone attending to bring friends as it will be great fun for them even if they are not playing.
The venue has a PA system, drum kit, mics and guitar/bass amps.
There is no guarantee that there will be cymbals or drum accessories with the drum kit at the venue. Drummers please being your own if you can.
Like all our other jams it will be a chance to jam with other musicians playing the music that you love in a gentle environment with no judgement and no pressure. This jam also uniquely gives the opportunity to play in front of a crowd!
Tickets are **ยฃ10 online** message us let us know what instrument you play and we will confirm if there is space and send you the Eventbrite link for the jam.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information about this jam and London Jam Sessions.
At London Jam Sessions we have an active community on WhatsApp where we all discuss the upcoming jams and future events. Everyone in the community is encouraged to ask questions and bring forward new ideas. Dm me and I can add you to our Whatsapp group.
