Tag: South Downs Way

It was only supposed to be a training walk! Turned into a bit of an epic 26 mile (42 km) hike from my house in Brighton to Eastbourne via the South Downs Way. I picked a rather splendid day for it, and took a few nice shots on the way. I'm not usually one to post miles, but thought this was noteworthy, it's the longest walk I've ever done in one day, and the south downs isn't exactly light going, especially at the end. I'm off to finish the Camino Frances on Sept 14, so I thought I'd test and warm up the old pins.

For some crazy reason, we decided to ride home from our Old Winchester Hill Fort wild camping pitch along the South Downs Way. Nearly 12hrs, 80km and 2000m of mostly off-road climbing later, we made it to @thebrznarms for beer and food. Feeling proud but a bit broken today, what a stunning ride.
