It is another sunny day and we can think of nothing better than a trip to the seaside, or to be more precise a wander along the promenade at Eastbourne. It is only a short walk into the town from Black Robin Farm CL.

A Wander Into Eastbourne
-
Beachy Head and Birling Gap
After a week and a half at home we are on the road again. This time heading to East Sussex to stay at Black Robin Farm CL, which is on a hill to the west of Eastbourne and just under a mile from Beachy Head. We arrived yesterday afternoon and by the time we were set up had only enough time to walk the dogs on the Downs overlooking Eastbourne.

A Circular Walk From Battle
We have almost reached the end of our three week tour of East Sussex and Kent so before heading off for today’s walk we take the awning down, then if tomorrow morning brings another heavy dew we won’t have to wait for the sun to dry it out.

A Walk Through Hastings Country Park
Yesterday we did a lot of wandering around and probably covered a few miles but unless I have a rucksack on my back it does not feel like a real walk. So today the boots and rucksack are soon attached and we are off to walk another section of the Sussex coastline.

Battle Abbey and Hastings Pier
Today we are heading to Battle Abbey just a short walk from our site. We walk into Battle following the route we took a few days ago when we arrived at 1 Uckham Lane Gardens CL.

A Wander Around Rye
After our walk around Winchelsea and Icklesham we decide to take a trip into Rye to mooch about for an hour or so. We drove through it a couple of days ago when moving between sites and thought it worthy of a visit and Freddy’s like to wander around towns when they are closed. It provides the opportunity to stop and look at the architecture without annoying shoppers and folk going about their daily business.

A Circular walk from Winchelsea to Icklesham
Yesterday returning from our walk at Rye Harbour we took a slight detour to drive through the village of Winchelsea and decided that it was a place well worth visiting. So off we head today.

Rye Harbour, Camber Castle and the Mary Stanford Tragedy
After yesterday’s walk inland we are keen to get back to the sea. It is a stunning autumnal day, but there is a very keen wind that doesn’t feel too bad at Battle, but has us layering clothes on in the car park at Rye Harbour.

A Wander Through Woods North of Battle
After a week or so walking along the coastline it is time to take a walk in the countryside. Being a Wiltshire boy a trip to the seaside was always a treat, as a nipper a Sunday School outing to Sandbanks was about all I saw of the sea. Whereas Lynnie is a Dorset lass and all her early years were spent close to the coast. There is something special about being near the sea, especially at dusk, I can see why it is so popular with retired folk.

Arriving at 1 Uckham Lane Gardens CL
The trip to Battle from Romney Marsh should have been straightforward. However, due to a road closure we had to head east before turning back along the coast. At the best of times a road closure can be annoying, but with over 24 feet of caravan behind you it certainly adds a bit of stress to a journey.
