Brisk walks and bus rides – sounds like just the ticket. The new 77 bus timetable is out for the Dyke to Brighton route. This forms part of the “Breeze up to the Downs” partnership between B&H City Council, The National Trust and SDNP. It starts on 19th April, and from 14th June to 31st August you can, er, “do it topless”. More importantly it now connects with similar services to Stanmer Park and Ditchling Beacon.

Can’t face hiding those eggs in the garden for the children?

It’s a fundraiser for the NT: Entrance is £3, and the fun starts at 11am on 4th, 5th & 6th. More details here…
