Hastings Old Town Guided Walk this afternoon

The weekly Old Hastings Preservation Society (OHPS) Tuesday afternoon guided walk of Hastings Old Town, ie of the "premier ancient Cinque Port," meets up by the top of the West Hill lift at 2.30pm this afternoon. There is a wealth of historic buildings, twittens and cat-creeps to explore in the old town, and the volunteer guide will explain why celebrities of their day (for example, the Pre-Raphaelites in the 19th century, see older blog) have, and still do, flock to Hastings. 

The walk will proceed gently downhill, including a number of steps, and lasts about 2 hours. The guided walk is provided free of charge, although the OHPS (charity) would be grateful for all donations given, many thanks; see their website. It's worth wearing comfortable walking shoes, obviously, and the forecast suggests it will be bright and sunny again today (Met Office), indeed blue skies for a week (! fingers crossed!) so be prepared with some Factor 50 applied, or with a hat/head covering if, like me, you redden as soon as the sun casts its rays at you! 

Enjoy your day!
