The first walk of the new programme will be the final stage of the Vanguard Way. Advance tickets are currently available for both journeys. This reduces the cost considerably.
Please ensure you bring plenty of food and water for the day. We will be taking a few short breaks throughout the day, rather than a long lunch break. There are refreshment points en route but we expect it may be too busy to stop. There are no toilets at Berwick station but they are available in Alfriston, Exceat and Seaford. We hope to view the
Bloomsbury paintings in Berwick Church. This will be a brief visit, so you may like to read up about them in advance at the link above.
