    This is the start or finish point of the 100-mile South Downs Way at Eastbourne, depending on if you hike or cycle the route east or west.

      I was pretty glad to see this after a 160 kilometres and five days of hiking!

        This was our final stage of the South Downs Way (Bo Peep to Eastbourne) and the second of a two day hike. The Seven Sisters followed by Beachy Head is pretty brutal.
