Walk Description:

The walk is roughly 2 hours. Our walk will take us through the beautiful woodland trails and bridle paths of Houghton Forest.

We will work our way to the South Downs Way to include Bury or Bignor Hill. The terrain includes hills and some chalk paths. It can be muddy underfoot on wet days but the views are worth it.    

This walk is the perfect way to work on your fitness in a fabulous setting. Come and enjoy walking in the local countryside, take in the views, fresh air and company of the group, whilst being active outdoors.

If you are new to the group, please ask advice before booking this walk.  

Walking Levels Explained

Easy – Up to 2.5 to 3 mph 

Ideal for casual walkers who enjoy conversation along the way. These walks are mostly flat, and any hills will be tackled slowly and gently.

Moderate – 3 to 3.5 mph

A steady pace that may lead to slightly heavier breathing, particularly on inclines. Suitable for those looking for a bit more of a workout.

Challenging – 3.5 to 4 mph

Suited for experienced walkers who enjoy pushing their pace. These walks may include longer durations (2+ hours), steeper inclines/declines, or uneven terrain. Though challenging, there will be moments to catch your breath, usually on flat or downhill sections.

Note: We never leave anyone behind. The walk leader makes sure everyone is looked after.
