In May 2007 the Group stayed at Eastbourne, giving an opportunity for some walks on the South Downs, including Beachy Head and the Seven Sisters. Highlight of the break must have been the early morning turf-out of the hotel when the fire alarms went off! Rumour has it that our walk-leader wanted to get us up and out nice and early!

Our second day's walk was along the coast from Eastbourne to Cuckmere Haven. Whereas the Downs walk of the day before had been relatively sunny and warm, there was a strong wind blowing off the sea on this walk. As the day went on - more gear was donned! By the time we boarded the bus back from Exceat, even Duncan was looking windswept!
