The South Downs Way - Part 2

The South Downs Way has been on my to-hike-list ever since I moved to the UK. Partly because it is easily accessible from London by train. In the beginning of April 2023 I finally had a week off work to hike this trail.
This is part 2 of 2 of this adventure.
The South Downs Way guidebooks usually describe the route from Eastbourne to Winchester, but I walked it in the opposite direction because finishing the hike along the chalk cliffs of the Seven Sisters is the most amazing and spectacular end to this 100 mile walk.
The scenery along the path is quite diverse but gentle with lots of pastures and barely any serious road walks/crossings. There were a few other hikers walking (parts of) the South Downs Way, but overall the route was very quiet and day hikers were generally only concentrated in certain popular sections.

Thank you for sharing your experience, I am looking forward to following in your footsteps next spring.. Good luck in your next adventure!

Thank you! Hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as I did!

Fantastic, well done on your achievement. Shame about the weather on the final day. Once at Eastbourne you could get a bus or train to Dover and walk the North Downs Way!! For another time / video perhaps.

Thank you! The North Downs Way was one of the first multi-day hikes I did after moving to the UK. But this was before I started filming...

@@lianne.o I am setting off from Winchester on the SDW with a friend on Sunday next week (hence me watching SDW videos). Like you, we are camping, but not intending to do any wild camps. I just watched your West Highland way video too which I really enjoyed. Perhaps you can complete all the UK National Trails for RUclips!

PS, which did you prefer, North or South Downs Way?
