INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the fifth two day endurance party to be held in Firle Park!
This is a stunning venue with direct access to the South Downs and acres of space for overnight camping and corralling. Situated 500m South of the A27, 4 miles East of Lewes, it is easy to reach with no narrow, winding lanes.
With a different route each day, the ride offers wonderful views of the Sussex Weald and English Channel, taking in rolling, grassy hills, Downland tracks and some road work. Whilst there are a number of gates, many will be manned or tied open in order to make it an enjoyable day out.
For those staying overnight, The Ram is again offering an excellent evening meal and is only ten minutes walk across the venue for those who wish to quench their thirst. A children’s’ playground offers entertainment for the younger members of the team, and for the adventurous there are two local hang-gliding schools (pre-booking essential!).
Thanks must be extended to all the people who have made this weekend possible – the Sponsors, landowners, volunteers and sundry personnel, without whom this ride would be no more than a passing fancy.
