Winchelsea, Rye Harbour & the sea in winter: Burn out your Christmas meal Sea, Nature, history and pretty places
About this Event

Yaaaaay Santa has given us a lot of presents, our families have cooked a lot of food, and now...we are so full! SO Let's travel to the sea and the countryside for a beautiful hike to burn those Christmas calories and make space for our New Year Diner and start 2025 even fitter than we already are... The walk is quite easy, pretty flat with just a slight inclination at the beginning. We will start in the historic town of Winchelsea, a beautiful place and will finish in Rye, the most beautiful town in South East England and will walk through the most instagramed street in the country! Mermaid street!

Winchelsea was once a major hub for the medieval wine trade and a sea port of national importance just like Rye that was one of the famous Cinque Ports!
We will explore a town rich in characterful houses, with three medieval gates, one of the best medieval church buildings in Sussex and beautiful views of the sea and open country on all sides.
We will then head to Rye Harbour nature reserve for a stroll on the beach and through some beautiful saltmarshes and lakes before we head to the medieval castle before we head to the next town, Rye, by bus for a lovely diner or a pint at the pub unless you just wish to hop on the train back to good old London.
ATTENTION! IT IS WINTER PEOPLE, please wear the right footwear and appropriate clothing, I cannot avoid mud where there is mud. If you come with trainers, they will be good for the bin and you will be ice skating instead of hiking and NOT in a very sexy way...

This day will be a day filled with fun and laughter, fresh air, gossips and teasing and a far too noisy, know-it-all guide. Probably some Christmas songs too... As always, we have people of all sorts, with believes, disbelieves, from the right, the left and the middle. Please respect each other's and keep politics at the parliament. We are here for a good day where we leave work and our problems at home and where we enjoy every minutes...if you love food,... you are even more welcome :)
