1066 WalkThis is the nearest regional trail to my gaff and has needless to say, all been completed. There is a main route, between Pevensey and Rye and two spurs, One to Bexhill from outside Battle (6.2miles) and another to Hastings from Doleham (7.4 miles). There is also a link path to the South Downs Way from Pevensey to Eastbourne. The main route is 31 miles. I think I completed this in 2003 but my memory is on the blink. Whatever, it encompases lovely countryside and Battle and Rye are always a pleasure to visit. As it is all so close, I will certainly revist it all several times. It runs near the Hastings - Ashford rail line, and I could hear and use the ubiquitous 'Thumpers' till they were withdrawn in 2005. The new 'caterpillar' units are nice - but the 1066 walk is knackered for trains as they do not stop at Doleham or Winchelsea anymore - very clever! Completed as: Battle to Bexhill, Hastings to Doleham, Pevensey to Battle and Battle to Rye. Looking inland from near Pevensey Observatory at Herstmonceux Windmill and orchards near Icklesham Winchelsea - site of former mill Between Battle and Bexhill Crowhurst - There used to be a beautiful brick railway viaduct across here till some muppet blew it up 'because it was unsafe' - reckon! Trying to outgeek myself near Bexhill East Hill Hastings Attractive church near...Church Farm Doleham Ditch - end of Hastings link and connection to the main route.
