Hi. I did the most fabulous walk last year, Brighton to Hastings. I was really spoiled because it included the Seven Sisters, stunning views, and well-signed, well-maintained walking footpaths.
I'd like to do something similar but different this year, but need some inspiration.
Again, about fifty miles would be ideal because I typically have about three days in which to walk.
The south coast is easy for me to access, but the central and eastern sides rather than the south west, so Devon and Cornwall are out. Basically, Dorset, Hampshire, Sussex, Kent and Essex are all well within my reach.
If I start again in Brighton, is it worth walking westwards, say to Portsmouth, or is that walk poor compared to the Brighton to Hastings stretch?
Or, is it worth going to Hastings and continuing another 50 miles eastwards?
Or am I missing any obvious alternatives?
I do like to pass through towns of reasonable size for refreshment and stimulation along the way, hence the Brighton-Eastbourne-Hastings stretch suited me down to the ground.
I like intermittent cliffs and views rather than endless flats. Stunning sea views are a must - I much prefer coastal walking to inland walking. I don't even mind a bit of industry. Variety is fine.
Any thoughts...?
Many thanks!
