The South Downs, stretching from the ancient cathedral city of Winchester in the west, first capital of England, through to the white chalky cliffs of the Seven Sisters and Beachy Head at Eastbourne in the east, this magnificent national park offers approximately 100 miles of pristine hiking terrain with spectacular, panoramic views to the sea and across the Weald.

Which is very apt being as this is also the birth place of Tuki Tiger Adventures, Origins being the inaugural hike I led several years ago, and still a cracker to walk to this present day.
