Walk Description:

A more gentle walk for those with a recent medical condition that means that mobility is limited, and who feel their fitness levels have declined as a result. The challenge is still to manage an hour walk, with rests when needed. Regularly weekly walks can bring improvements. Start of the walk is at the same time as the other group. Warming up exercises are together and we meet again in the car park for a hot drink. Gear 1 - max 2 miles at your pace.

Chilgrove White Horse and the Devil’s Jumps

Starting from the White Horse at Chilgrove, this 5.3-mile walk takes us up towards the South Downs Way, with a small diversion to visit the Devil’s Jumps.

There is a long, steady climb along the route. It isn’t particularly steep, but it will get the heart and lungs working and makes this a rewarding walk for anyone who enjoys a little more of a challenge. We’ll manage different walking speeds so the group stays together, with opportunities for stronger walkers to stretch themselves while others tackle the climb at a comfortable pace.

Along the way, we’ll enjoy beautiful countryside and lovely views through the valley, making the climb well worth the effort.

Distance: Approximately 5.3 milesDuration: Approximately 2 hours

Afterwards, we’ll head to the White Horse for a well-earned coffee and time to relax and catch up.

A great choice if you’re ready for a longer walk with a sustained climb, fabulous scenery and a sociable finish.
