Newmarket Inn - how long to walk to Amex?

[Driver8]

I have booked to stay in the Newmarket Inn on the A27 for Sheff Wed game. Does anyone know if walking to the Amex is feasible from there and if so how long it takes?

 

[clippedgull]

20-25 minutes approx (average pace!)

it's only about a mile isn't it? highly feasible given that plenty off people walk from the centre of brighton and the centre of lewes.

The bloke who runs the pub used to run a mini bus to the ground the last time I was there call and ask if he still doing it

20-25 minutes approx (average pace!)

Thanks. Is there a footpath or is that walking along the hard shoulder of the A27?

Google Maps? 2.2 miles, they reckon 46 minutes

Sorry, not sure on that!

Cheers. I'll do that.

I would say it will be decidedly dodgy trying to walk in the dark longside the dual carriageway, I'd book a taxi if I was you, alternatively I'm sure somebody coming from the East and parks at the ground could pick you up if you asked on here.

No worries. I can't tell from the satellite and can't remember seeing one that side of the road.

Average pace if you were 11ft tall maybe.

Walking 2.1 miles in 25 mins is pushing it a bit. Or a lot.

There's a long lay by initially that brings you to a bridge where the South Downs Way crosses the A27. From the other side of the bridge, the old road takes you most of the way to Falmer, but I can't remember what the last little bit does!

There is a path/cycle path on the other side of the Dual Carriageway which takes you to Falmer Village

Well, I'm 10ft 5 ins.

But seeing as the OP is getting motorised transport in one form or another (being scarily dark!) my estimation is moot!

theres a footpath all the way, on the other side unfortunatly. quick google map shows theres a designated crossing path near the pub.

They do have a bus stop right outside.

I averaged 10 minute miles in my REMF marathon so will be OK with that! Not sure about the Mrs though.

Street view?

 

[BUTTERBALL]

I'd be more worried about getting there alive than anything else!

Personally I'd walk to Lewes and get the train from there
