I took the 12 bus to Seaford and walked across Seaford Head; up Hope Bottom, down to Cuckmere Haven, and walked up the west bank Cuckmere riverbank path. I crossed the river at the Exceat Bridge, then walked down the eat side riverbank path, then returned on the main path to the bus stop, getting a 12X bus back to Brighton.
It was mostly very overcast with very low light. The photographs are in chronological order.
