Where: Southease Station
Designer: Mark L.
Pub: John Harvey Tavern
Route:
This is a one-way walk so you either need to catch the train to Southease from Gatwick (or other preferred station) or park in Lewes and catch the train from there.
About time I got round to the report….
Fortunately the train from Lewes to Seaford is designed as a connector…. therefore it waited for the London train and the people travelling down from Gatwick were able to catch it despite their late arrival. (It was also useful for Terry D. as he wasn’t as quick as Clark Kent at changing and only just caught the train…).
A few minutes late a crew of 8 made it’s way down to Southease. It was a very pleasant evening so the turnout was a tad disappointing but that’s their loss 
.
The first climb of the day was accomplished with ease – though there was a certain amount of trepidation as we walked with Tarber through a herd of cattle; fortunately the bull’s attention was directed elsewhere. From the top of the downs we had fine, if somewhat hazy, views before dropping down into the Glynde valley.
Across the A27 we arrived in Glynde and stopped for a well deserved pint of Harvey’s in the Trevor Arms. No one chickened out and caught the train back to Lewes so we all continued over Caburn Down towards Lewes. As Mr Zimmermann was to remark later this climb seemed to go so much more easily…
We arrived at the John Harvey Tavern in good time for their Jazz night. That and an excellent pint of Harvey’s rounded off a fine evening.
