Evening Walk – Devil’s DykeThursday 18th June 2026Join us for an evening walk to take advantage of the longest day, and kick back at the end of the walk and watch the sunset with a sundowner. Meeting at 5.30 for a 5.45 start at the Devil’s Dyke car park (National Trust, so do car share and use your membership to pay for parking). We will wend our way down the escarpment, through Saddlescombe, Newtimber and Wolstonbury Hill, before circling back to Devil’s Dyke. The pub is open until 10.00 pm, so just time for refreshments. The route is 12.4 km (taking approx. 3hrs 20min) and there is 564 metres of ascent with some steep sections. Link to route: https://explore.osmaps.com/route/32367916/solstice-loop-the-loop |
Day Walk – Whiteways LodgeSunday 7th JuneThe walk will be starting at Whiteways Lodge car park at 10.00 am. The car park is on the large roundabout to the north of Arundel. Public transport is not great but it's only a 20 minute drive from Worthing and happy to ensure car shares. The walk is just about 9.5 miles and will involve some uphill sections climbing 945 ft. It is described as 'difficult' but should not be too taxing depending on weather conditions! The walk will follow the Monarch's Way to Houghton and then follow the river to Bury before heading to Bignor and then returning to Whiteways car park. There is a cafe at the start and pubs on the way for refreshment stops! The walk should take about 5 hours 30 mins with a lunch stop half way round. Please bring a packed lunch and drinks. |
