Old Town Walk - Back to normal...



Well, the Carnival is over, and the Old Hastings Preservation Society's (OHPS) regular Tuesday afternoon free guided walk of Hastings Old Town is back to just it's usual day, for now. The walk meets up later today, by the top of the West Hill Lift at 2.30pm. A volunteer guide from the OHPS will show participants around the old town of Hastings, with its historic buildings, twittens, tales and stories, and share knowledge about the number of talented celebrities of their age who have visited and/or lived in Hastings, eg a number of the Pre-Raphaelites in the 19th century (past blog), and they keep on arriving!


The walk will cross the West Hill and head gently downhill into the old town, with a number of steps involved, and lasts up to 2 hours. The OHPS provides for this guided walk free of charge, though as a registered charity, they would be very grateful for all donations made, many thanks (website). People are advised to wear comfortable walking shoes, and the weather is forecast to be sunny, mostly, but with the chance of a shower (Met Office), so maybe an umbrella, light waterproof clothing, and Factor 50 and/or head covering may be appropriate!

Whatever, enjoy the afternoon!
