Outdoor Programme 2026

Tuesday 30th June 10.00am Walk to Lullington Heath

This time we are breaking with tradition to have a longer walk with a stop at lunch time when you can eat your picnic (bring your own food and drink). Lullington Heath is an excellent area for wildlife and at this time of the year we would expect to see good butterflies, including the Green Hairstreak.

The Heath is not accessible by car and to walk there and back is approximately 6 miles. We estimate that as we are looking at wildlife the walk will take several hours. The terrain is hilly (steep in places), and the paths are uneven, but it should be well worth it as is a special place with great views from the top of the Heath.

The plan is to meet at the car park at Butchershole Bottom at 10.00am and then, depending on numbers attending, either walk directly to the Heath or go in one or two cars to a small parking area in Jevington before setting off on the walk.

Whilst the coastal buses stop at Friston Pond, it is at least a 2km walk from there to the start point and probably impractical. As you know we encourage members to share transport to these events, so if you would like a lift, or can offer a lift to someone else please contact jill Davey on gilliandavey74@gmail.com

To help with the logistics of this walk, it would be useful if members who are thinking of coming along could email Jill Davey at gilliandavey74@gmail.com by 25 June. This will not commit you to coming but will help us to plan how we get everyone to the start point. In addition, if the weather is unsuitable, we will be able to contact you if the walk is cancelled.

We looking forward seeing you there. Non-members will be asked to contribute £3 per head.

Extra Weekend Activities

The Society is planning a series of additional walks and activities this year, to be held at Weekends, in the hope that people unable to attend the usual Tuesday events, perhaps due to a daytime job, may find these events more accessible.
