Hikers: Me & Megan

Distance: 3 miles
Rating: Easy
Time: 90 minutes
Trailhead Link:http://www.sevensisters.org.uk
While visiting London, Megan and I took the train to Seaford Sussex to see the Seven Sisters. I had seen pictures and heard that this is just as good as seeing the White Cliffs of Dover. These are Chalk Cliffs of the English Channel. They are located between Seaford and Eastbourne. It is a wonderful trip and you can stop and visit Brighton and take the train home from their.
We took the train from London Victoria Station to Seaford Sussex. You can buy the tickets online from the Southern Railway and save money. It was so easy and once you get to the train station you get your tickets from a Kiosk. Just make sure you are on the correct train car. Our train split half way and we were a little freaked out that we were not on the right cars. (Who said I was a worrier) :)
Megan and I took a bus from town to the Country Park. We walked along the path towards the coast. It is about 3 miles roundtrip. We saw sheep and it reminded me of a recent movie I watched - From the Madding Crowd. I won't tell you what happened to the sheep. I read the day before we visited that a dog attacked the sheep and people were complaining. Ya think!
It was a fun day. After the hike we stopped at the restaurant across from the trailhead and had a nice lunch sitting on the patio. What a life! A wonderful adventure for me and Meg as she heads off to start college life!
I would love to come back and do several parts of the 100 mile trail along the coast.
The South Downs Way is the famous trek.
