I miss the seafront sputnik...

It sounds such an odd combination. A nuclear power station on one side, a miniature railway on the other!

I think you'll find someone on NSC used to work there.. :laugh:

I've combined elements of those two before. I've got off at Southease, walked up alongside the river into Lewes, then gone up to the Golf Course, down Mount Caburn, hit the Trevor Arms. After that, head up Beddingham Hill(?) and then down to Southease.

Yes I had noticed the buses when I was in Rye and heard about the mini railway. I remember walking on the shingle on a section of our walk near Cooden's Beach and it just makes everything take so much longer. Clamouring over big fallen rocks by Hastings beach near Fairlight will take some...

I think we'd like to walk to Dungeness from Rye to keep the journey going on foot. Yes I've read about the sound mirrors. Isn't it full of certain wildlife round there, due to the warm water generated by the plant?

I'd add the Jolly Brewer Pub too..

I'm sure they aren't too loud about that. You wouldn't want to be associated with Newhaven

Yes I'd noticed the "danger zone" while looking through OS maps. Dungeness looks very surreal though, I can't wait to get down there. Problem is, during our previous walks, we have always begun and ended at a railway station but I think it's a massive gap from Rye to whatever the next station...

I thought that might happen in my year too but my cynicism was misplaced. On a purely personal level, I found it heartening the only person that got a 1st on the course was a guy went to state school in Brighton and not some rich oversees student who has paid to go to Uni prep schools like...

I'm looking forward to Dungeness! Me and a friend have walked from Brighton to Rye in various installments along the coast(Brighton to Seaford, Seaford to Eastbourne, Eastbourne to Hastings, Hastings to Rye) so Dungeness is coming up as the next stop.

THPP :laugh:

Or end in Seaford.. I did a very nice Brighton to Seaford coastal walk before, featuring the excellent Tide Mills.

At least it wasn't a Richard!

I feel bad now as I didn't head back to Brighton today, seeing as everyone seems to be talking about Fathers Day, but then again it isn't really my Dad's thing. I found out I got a 1st in my degree earlier in the week, so I think that was a good present for him :blush:

Seeing as it is that time of year, what are everyone's favourite Sussex country walks? This thread is inspired by me revisiting an old favourite walk of mine, Seaford to Eastbourne via Seven Sisters/Beachy Head. Amazing walk but I ache a little today!

Who was the MP in question?

I'm currently doing an internship for an MP at Westminster and I can confirm, their case anyway, it is ALOT of work.. There are the select committees you are a member of which you have to go to and be prepared for and contribute to. There are all parliamentary groups(cross party) where you do...

John Barnes once swore at me on the phone and made very crude comments. If I couldn't take him seriously before then, I certainly can't now.

I dread to think.. I mean, how many can the train deal with? a few thousand at best??
