Backpacking London

Pooh Bear's Minden Meander (14 miles)

"*Can't we go back to page one and do it all over again?*" AA Milne *The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh* Some who resort to "the people's judgment" or "the sword of truth" to rescue their reputation, prove nothing more than their conceit. George Sackville, who inhabited Hundred Acres Wood a hundred years before Winnie the Pooh, called his own court martial after visiting Minden in 1759, then found himself home in the wood sulking like Eeyore. This walk tours all the Pooh sights: Pooh Corner; Pooh Bridge; and the Hundred Acre Wood; before passing the hapless Lord's house on the wood's edge.

The **Seven Sisters** are a spectacular series of gleaming white chalk cliffs shaped over thousands of years by natural erosion processes. Erosion has since created an “eighth sister,” and today the cliffs stand as one of England’s most iconic landscapes. We begin in the coastal town of **Seaford**, home to a Napoleonic-era **Martello Tower** built in 1810 as part of a chain of 103 coastal defences against French invasion. From here, the trail climbs onto the cliff tops, where for much of the day we walk high above the sea, treated to endless coastal views and fresh sea air. Our route follows the **South Downs Way**, passing through **Birling Gap** and past the striking **Belle Tout Lighthouse**, famously moved 17 metres inland in 1999 to save it from falling into the sea. The final highlight is **Beachy Head**, a dramatic beauty spot with sheer chalk cliffs dropping into the sea below. We finish in **Eastbourne**, statistically England’s sunniest town, where we celebrate our coastal adventure with refreshments in a local pub. 🧭 **Guide:** • Leader: [LYUBAVA](https://www.outdooraholics.co.uk/MeetTheOutdooraholics.pdf) • Contact (hike day only): 07883 405294 🍽️ **Food:** • Bring a packed lunch • Pub visit after the hike (drinks optional) 🎒**What to Bring** • Hiking boots/shoes • Water (2 litres minimum) • Packed lunch • Waterproofs (jacket and trousers) • Hat and gloves if cold • Train tickets are arranged – just meet us at the meeting point ⚠️ **Safety** Your guide is a trained hike leader and Outdoor Activity First Aider ❓ **Want to Know More?** • [New to Our Trips?](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/new_to_our_day_hikes.pdf) (perfect for first-timers, answers “what to expect”) • [About Us](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/about_us.pdf) (who Outdooraholics are, credibility, history) • [FAQs](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/FAQ.pdf) (covers common queries) 📲 **Explore More &** **Stay Connected** [Day hikes list](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/hikesbygrade.pdf) 👣 [Calendar - All trips](https://www.meetup.com/outdooraholics/events/calendar/) 📖 [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/outdooraholics/) 📸 [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/Outdooraholics) & [Photos group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/Outdooraholics) 📄 **Terms and Conditions** By signing up or attending you agree to our [Terms and Conditions](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/TermsConditionsOutdooraholicsHikingUK.pdf) **Cliffs – danger** There are sheer drops and these soft chalk cliffs can collapse without warning.

On arrival, there will be time to settle in, explore the area and visit the local village. In the evening, we will enjoy a relaxed dinner and have the opportunity to get to know each other in our beautiful rural, mountainous surroundings. Our guest house is set **outside the village a 10 to 15 minute walk away**, so we escape the noise and stay in a more tranquil setting. The Guest House has an unheated **swimming pool**. **Saturday** • Hike: Bomerano circular • Distance: 10km (6 miles) • Grading: **[Intermediate](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/HikeGradings.pdf)**, one tough uphill, rocky terrain in places • Ascent: 470m Today we have a lovely circular hike from our guest house. We take in the summit of **Monte Tre Calli** (1122m high) from which we can get some stunning and far reaching views of the Peninsula as well as the mountain villages near where we are staying. A short but perfect hike to get to know the area and get our bearings. After the hike, you'll have free time to **explore the charming village of Bomerano** or unwind by our private pool. There’s also optional extra (at cost) local experiences available: • 🍋 Visit a small family owned Limoncello factory. See how it’s made and sample different varieties (approx 5 Euros) • 🍝 Hands-on Italian cooking class on a local farm. Make and then eat fresh pasta, mozzarella & tiramisu, with wine (approx 45 Euros) **Sunday** • Hike: Bomerano to Amalfi via Valle delle Ferriere Park • Distance: Approx 16km (10 miles) • Grading: **[Intermediate](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/HikeGradings.pdf)**, some rough and uneven tracks • Ascent: 480m • Descent: 1100m Another hike where we start from the guest house, we have some road walking at the start before departing into the dense wooded mountains on a breath taking trail that provides ever more tempting **views of the lush wooded valleys and coastline** that we will be exploring. With **waterfalls, ancient ruins, mountain rivers and dreamy views** this is quite a spectacular day of hiking. To finish it off we hike past scented lemon groves on a trail that delivers us to the **coastal town of Amalfi** which opens to the sea like a fan. We’ll have time to explore Amalfi’s historic streets and get some well deserved refreshments. **Monday - Free day** Why not take the time to yourself to **relax by the guest house pool**, indulge in one of **Bomerano's numerous cafes** or explore the surroundings? You can get a **bus from Bomerano to Amalfi** and then a bus or boat onto most locations on the Amalfi Coast. Or you can **visit Ravello** \- a small town considered to be one of the most romantic and beautiful places in southern Italy\. Settled on steep terraced slopes high above sea level\, this lovely town inspires with memorable views high above the coast below\. Should you desire a more exotic experience, you can visit **the island of Capri**. Capri is one of Italy’s most stunning islands, a favourite for Roman Emperors several of whom built their villas here. **There is no guide for today**, it is a free day and whatever option you choose is self guided, **the guide can advise** on options and logistics. **Tuesday - Day trip to Vesuvius and Pompeii** **Vesuvius** is a world renowned volcano that dramatically brought an end to the Roman town of Pompeii in its great eruption of 79 AD. Its fertile soil helps provide some of the great tasting local tomatoes and grapes for the local wines. **Pompeii** is an experience to visit, the ruins being mesmerising, fascinating and quite poignant. It’s surprisingly well preserved for a 2000 year old town and is huge, a true time capsule from the days when the Roman Empire ruled much of the world as you walk around this Roman town. Pompeii offers a fascinating glimpse into the everyday life of the ancient Roman world including **bakeries, brothels, baths and numerous cobbled streets**. You can explore this site **either by yourself or join the private organised tour** we arrange with our local guide. Visiting Vesuvius is **subject to weather conditions** and also tickets being released to the public for sale, they are **not always available**, if they are not available for our trip dates we will have a short walk on Vesuvius to **a historic lava flow** instead of visiting the summit. **Wednesday** • Hike: The famous "**Sentiero degli dei" (Path of the Gods)** • Distance: 7km (5 miles). Various options to extend, you can decide on the day • Grading: **[Intermediate](https://outdooraholics.co.uk/HikeGradings.pdf)** • Ascent: 350m for the standard route We’re saving this epic hike until our last full day. We hike a winding trail that delicately hugs the rugged mountains as it follows their twists and turns. We get **the most dramatic and lofty views of the trip** as for much of the hike we can look down to the sea far below. We pass **ancient houses, vineyards, woodland and a goat farm**. We visit **Positano, considered to be the most picturesque and photogenic town on the coastline**. Steeply stacked houses literally tumble down the mountain towards the sea dotted with the most diverse range of pastel colours creating quite a captivating setting. We explore the town losing ourselves in **a maze of alleys, a visit to the beach and no doubt a good cafe** too are on the cards. You can also explore some very **chic boutique shops**. Today offers **several route options**. The guide will hike the full **Path of the Gods**, continue down to Positano, and then return the same way to the guesthouse. **You can choose to shorten the route at various points**, with options including a **coastal boat ride** or **a bus journey**. On the day, you can decide whether to take the public bus into Positano or extend the hike and walk down the roughly 1,700 steps. **Thursday** **– Departure** After breakfast, we head to the airport. • If you’d like to stay on, Rome is just 1 hour 15 minutes away by high-speed train from Naples, with regular flights back to London. • After the airport we have a 2nd complimentary stop at Naples central train station. • You can extend your stay in Naples to explore its museums, cafés and neighbourhoods. **🍽️ Food** Breakfast is provided daily by the guest house.
