Sunday 18th October 2026: The Autumn Leaves Walk

By joining a GAYSWAG walk, you agree to be bound by our Terms & Conditions and have read & will adhere to our safety advice.


Description
We will head up a moderate hill in Lewes itself on the way to the Lido, from where we will follow the River Ouse northward (and see the work going on where the recent derailment was!), then up the steep climb through forest to a magnificent lookout where we can have a short break, the views are wonderful!  We then continue the climb to the top of the quarry with another almost scary view, then along the GMT line to a new cafe (Salt Cafe) at the Stud farm, where we may want to stop in before a long decent back towards Lewes Prison and the Cemetery, then the park just before Lewes Station where, if before 5pm, one can buy ice creams and sweet treats before ending our afternoon together.
