Come join us on a day walk south of London. Starting relatively high in the South Downs, with beautiful views, it takes in the pretty village of Burpham, with its old church and pub, and then goes lower alongside the exquisite meandering River Arun, with Arundel Castle in view on the opposite bank.

Safety & Gear

This is a casual walking day out. Please ensure you bring relevant walking gear for the expected distance and weather. If you have any conditions you need to make the leader(s) aware of, please do so. Please also inform us of the location of personal medication in your packs in case of an emergency.

We have a kit list available to check against: https://themmc.org.uk/kit-lists/

If you are missing gear we may be able to assist or direct you to recommended reasonably priced items if you let us know in advance.

COVID-19

We support the use of and please do take a Lateral Flow Test pre-travel for the safety of the passengers and other attendees, and the vulnerable people they may live with. We also encourage attendees to test afterwards too and contact the Chair for any positive tests so they can inform the group and keep you anonymous: chair@themmc.org.uk

Please make sure to bring several masks with you. England, Wales, and Scotland all have slightly different rules regarding this. This will also help protect yourself and others you may live with.

Please remember to bring your own hand sanitiser, avoid sharing food and drink where possible, and wash your hands after being in contact with surfaces.
