The adventure begins this evening at approximately 11pm in Eastbourne where you will meet your challenge leaders and crew for registration and a pre-trek safety briefing.
As darkness falls, we set off from Eastbourne across the fields and hills of the sleepy South Downs, with out route lit up by torchlight and stars. For many, trekking through the night will be one of the most challenging aspects of the journey as our senses become more attuned to the enveloping darkness.
The terrain becomes more challenging and fatigue sets in as we follow the course of the Cuckmere River towards the coast. We'll draw on hidden reserves of energy to battle through the tiredness.
Crossing the rolling chalk hills of the Seven Sisters we then enter the most spectacular, and most challenging part of the walk, past the Belle Tout Lighthouse and on to our journey’s end at Beachy Head and Eastbourne.
A new day dawns on the spectacular vista of chalky white hills and sea views. All being well, we will arrive at the finishing line in time for sunrise and a well-earned breakfast!
