New ramblers guide means everyone can get out into the Sussex countryside
Huge numbers of people like to get away from the roads and out into the countryside in the beautiful Sussex countryside. But if you are not as fit and agile as you would like to be, or you have children in a pram, there was very little information available.
Rambler’s spokesperson Chris Smith, who has M.E. (chronic fatigue syndrome) says "I was shocked to see how little information there was about the countryside for the less fit. For example, WSCC told me that they had recently removed over 100 stiles to improve access, but couldn’t tell me where they were! Only a few organisations, like Rye Harbour Nature Reserve or the Chichester Harbour Commissioners had really thought about access for all. The idea seemed to be that if you were not really fit you ought to be satisfied with a little circuit round a country park or a nature reserve".
The Ramblers Guide sets out to change all that. It sets out to list as many country rambles in Sussex as possible that are accessible and over 4 km long. No rambles have stiles or really rough ground and as much detail as possible is given about surfaces, gates, height gain, toilets and refreshments and how to get there. Rambles in the new South Downs National Park figure prominently.
The guide can be found on the web site of Sussex Ramblers
