Lewes Footpaths Group: Wednesday’s walk on December 12th, was led by Janet and Gill, started off at the Woodvale Cemetery. We wound our way gradually uphill pausing to read the names on tombstones ranging from a cavalryman for General Custer to the impressive mausoleum built to resemble a train turntable in memory of the chief engineer of London Brighton and South Coast Railways. It was a surprisingly green area with some spooky overgrown wooded sections.

Leaving the cemetery we headed down Tenantry Down Road and then through the tunnel under Brighton racecourse and followed the grassy track to the grandstand and the ancient site of Neolithic Whitehawk Camp from where we had fine views of the sea. We continued along this track gradually descending into Eastern Road by Brighton College. Some of us took the bus back to Lewes while others enjoyed a snack while watching the skaters at the Royal Pavilion.
