Full return cheap day fare is £30 but we may be able to get a third off if there are enough railcards to share. \nSo\, turn up at East Croydon station at 9.55am to catch the 10.12 to Hastings. We return late afternoon / early evening. The train journey is around an hour and a half each way. The walk east along the coast towards Fairlight country park is optional and around four to five miles round trip.   There may be an option to take the bus out and walk back. Sight seeing and lounging about the rest of the time.

If you have never seen the Azaleas\, then it is definitely worth a trip. If you have seen them\, then I imagine that you would want to see them again. It’s quite a short season in bloom\, so if you miss it\, you need to wait another year. \nAssemble at East Croydon Station at 09:40 for the 09:52 train to Clapham Junction\, then the 10:21 from Clapham Junction to Norbiton arriving 10:37. From Norbiton\, we will walk up to and through the park to the Plantation (direct route around 30 minutes)\, and then around a 1 hour walk over to Richmond. We may take a more scenic route with stops which will add to these walking times. There are frequent trains back from Richmond to East Croydon. Richmond riverside might be worth passing on the way home. \nThere is an alternative option to drive\, with parking in the park near to the plantation at “Spankers Hill” car park or to cycle over from Croydon\, approx 10 miles. Meet the walkers at Isabella Plantation at 11:30am. \nAlso options to cycle over\, around 10 miles from Croydon.

At Old Town Eastbourne (which is about a mile inland from the seaside resort) there will be a chance to go for a swim at Motcombe pool with a friendly little ‘naturist’ swim group – as the ‘name on the tin’ suggests no cozzies are worn at this session and it is the very best way to go swimming. I can only take about 2 or 3 people with me on the swim\, so indicate your interest asap\, or wait till the day\, and take your chances. You’ll need a towel and £5 entry. The pool is not full size\, but certainly good enough for proper swimming – it has a steady shallow end\, and then a steep drop into a good deep end. \nFor those not swimming\, there is a pub\, The Lamb Inn\, nearby\, one of the oldest in the area and country. They also do food for a pretty reasonable price. \nMeet East Croydon Railway Station in good time to catch the 9.03am train to Polegate. You will need a day return to Eastbourne.
