Hey stompers!
Dykeing Boots (@dykeingboots) is a community of queer people and allies based in Brighton and Hove.
Let's try this one again!! Originally planned for Nov, the weather was against us and we had to cancel this route, so we're bringing it back for February's stomp!
This stomp is 14km and will take around 4 hours at a relaxed but steady pace. Please only book a ticket if you are confident you can walk this distance & duration.
Key Info :
- DISTANCE : 14 km
- ASCENT : 150m
- DURATION : 4 hours
- TERRAIN : mostly hiking pathways & some tarmac roads.
There is a very high possibility of messy muddy sections on this one!
Meeting Points :
We will be meeting at Brighton Station to get the train together to Shoreham together, with meeting points at both stations. Meeting times/exact locations will be shared with stompers approx 72 hours before the walk.
Meeting Point 1 : Brighton Station
Meeting Point 2 : Shoreham-By-Sea Station
General Info:
All are welcome on our walks and we do not tolerate any transphobia, racism, homophobia, sexism, ableism or any similar shite
🍁 We will aim for a mid-point break, weather permitting. Please bring a packed lunch & snacks & water. We'll also take some shorter pauses at various points during the stomp.
🥾 We stomp as a group! The stomp leader & stewards will set a pace which aims to be comfortable for all stompers. If you find you're itching to go a lot faster or wanting to go a lot slower, please let a steward know before separating from the group.
🌦️ As always, we cannot predict the British weather - please ensure you have appropriate and comfortable footwear and clothing for the stomp. As this stomp is river-side there is a good chance of MUD, so non-leaky soled shoes (ideally boots, or trainers you don't mind getting messy) are a must!
🐕 We cannot stress enough how much dogs ARE SO WELCOME on our stomps!
🎫 We operate on a pay what you feel basis. Please know your ticket is valid whatever you pay, including if you get a free ticket. If you can pay, the suggested donation is £3 - all of this money goes back into the running of Dykeing Boots and towards our travel support fund.
🚨If you need any support paying for your travel to and from the walk please get in touch via Instagram or email (dykeingboots@gmail.com) after securing your spot - we'll send you enough to cover it, no questions asked🚨
