This Sunday's ride starts and finishes at the car park at the end of Muritai Rd south of Eastbourne and is mostly gravel or 4wd tracks. We will be going up to the Old Pencarrow Lighthouse first and then continuing south to climb up to the Baring Head Lighthouse. The views from both are most excellent as are the harbour views throughout the ride. 

The section to Baring Head involves crossing a private road which is not open to public access without prior arrangement. I have requested access via the park ranger and we have permission for up to 10 riders and must be out of the Baring Head area before 1pm due to the on-going fire risk.

If you are joining us let me know so I know to wait for you at the start and also to control rider numbers. Remember, we are limited to 10 riders, first in first served.

I will have room for 1 person and bike in my car if anyone needs a lift.
