Our walking buddy Malcolm told me he didn’t join the Cambridge Rambling Club for our last weekend away as he felt too young to be spending it in Eastbourne 🙂

Those of us who did join the trip discovered it was like home from home as a large group of very jolly pensioners from the Cambridge Co-operative group were there too, including a 99-year-old who outstayed me in their nightclub!

We were also treated to a spectacular torchlight procession and firework display by the local bonfire societies and we all thanked our organiser Meg for laying on such great entertainment.

The walks were fabulous too, and I joined the A-team on both days, with an incredible clifftop walk across the Seven Sisters, as well as Beachy Head where a row of crosses reminded us that this was a last journey for some tortured souls.

Many thanks to our leader Norman, and here is a reminder of the walk we did on our first day.
