COLUMN Walkies #13 Berwick Circular Sarah is ‘faffing’. I think faffing is one of those Mars and Venus things. I’m not saying there aren’t men who faff but I do reckon that women tend to faff more than men. My confidence in this controversial assertion is boosted by the fact that Todd obviously agrees with me. He’s pulling on his lead and has let out a whine and a bark. Quite why there’s this delay in starting our walk, he can’t quite fathom. And neither can I. Not for the first time (or the second for that matter), Sarah has decided to replace one article of clothing with another and is now staring up at the sky which, it has to be said, is giving few indications of its ultimate intention. Finally, an alternative anorak, an umbrella, a woolly hat and a scarf are dragged out of the boot, stuffed in a backpack, and handed to me. Despite some dark mutterings from yours truly, it’s clearly the price that must be paid if we are ever to leave the car park. This particular walk from the Cricketers Arms near Berwick, up onto the Downs, west towards Firle and then back through Alciston to the pub is a summer favourite ending in the Cricketers’ delightful garden. In winter, the allure of a roaring log fire is even more appealing. When we reach the top of the Downs, the weather gods are in a particularly fickle mood putting on a son et lumière worthy of a scene from King Lear. Within the space of a few minutes we are battered by high winds, drenched by a cloud-burst, and then blinded by bright sunshine. Todd may be in seventh heaven – and would probably remain so even if the sky fell in and we were abducted by aliens – but I feel like a man more sinned against than sinning. If I have to open this wretched backpack one more time I shall pull my own eyes out. On the way back down to Alciston we shelter in some trees to find some respite from the wind and rain before making our way along the footpath towards Berwick. Here we decide to take a look at the famous WW2 murals in the church painted by Duncan Grant and Vanessa and Quentin Bell. I am immersed in an admiring reverie when I hear a bark from the porch and Sarah’s voice echoes down the nave. “Come on,” she says. “What on earth are you doing? Todd’s getting impatient. We can’t stay here all day.” Faffing, you see. Depends how you define it. Richard Madden Map: OS Explorer OL25. Distance: 4 miles. Terrain: Steep climb onto Downs, views over the Cuckmere Haven to the sea. Directions: From Berwick follow the footpath up onto the Downs and then west along the South Downs Way. At Bostal Hill, follow the sunken path to Alciston and then the footpath east back to the pub. Start/finish: Cricketer’s Arms, Berwick 87
