Heather organised a lovely sunny day for our Ramble . Setting off from Eastbourne by bus we alighted in Rottingdean and walked up through the village to commence a short steep climb onto the Downs.

The usual glorious Download views were enhanced by the fields of wild flowers and the distant view of a large field of red poppies.

Passing by Rottingdean Windmill, undergoing a repaint, we headed over to Ovingdean for a welcome sit down in St Wulfrans Church and cup of tea.

From here we continued across the Downs to emerge behind Roedean school to cross the coast road and back down onto the seafront by the Marina. A final hot trek along the front brought us back to Rottingdean after a lovely 5 mile Ramble.
