GAYSWAG Walk

Description:

It will be 6.5 miles, two quite long moderate climbs, first west up into Friston Forest, then back down along another path to the south east towards the village again, then up east along the South Downs Way to a nice view point looking towards Hastings, then north and west back down to The Eight Bells Pub where we will have refreshments, before returning to our cars.

The name Jevington ‘Bow-tie walk’ is due to the shape of the paths taken, and does not constitute a recommendation for attire!
