#11 LEWES FOOTPATHS GROUP<br />
What is the <strong>Lewes</strong> Footpaths Group? We’re a<br />
walking group based in <strong>Lewes</strong>.<br />
Do you walk every week? We have up to six<br />
walks a month, either on Sundays or midweek.<br />
The majority of them are half-day walks, about six<br />
miles, though we do also do some longer walks; up<br />
to nine or ten miles.<br />
Do the walks still go ahead if it rains? Of<br />
course! We walk in all weathers.<br />
How many people turn up to walk? Somewhere<br />
between <strong>10</strong> and 25. We frequently stop for a pub<br />
lunch or picnic at the end, but that’s entirely<br />
optional.<br />
What’s your favourite walk? I think everybody<br />
loves the walk to Blackcap on the Downs.<br />
What else do you do? We have two or three<br />
coach outings each year which incorporate a walk,<br />
but there’s also a place of interest [like a National<br />
Trust site], so those who can no longer walk can<br />
join in. We also organise a New Year Lunch, and<br />
holidays for our members. A group’s just come<br />
back from Derbyshire.<br />
Is there anything else worth mentioning?<br />
Well, we’re a nice friendly club. People are always<br />
welcome to join us on a walk to try us out before<br />
becoming members.<br />
Annual membership is £5, or £8 for a family. Life<br />
membership is £50. Contact Janet 475867 or membershipsecretary@lewesfootpathsgroup.org.uk.<br />

<strong>Lewes</strong> Footpaths Group has<br />
brought out three books of walks, available for £4<br />
each from Tourist Information.<br />
