Hello stompers!
We're revisiting a favourite stomp for May, returning to beautiful Stanmer Park & woodland to hopefully catching the last of the bluebells in bloom!
Key Info :
- DISTANCE : 9 km
- ASCENT : 180m
- DURATION : 2.5 hours
- TERRAIN : There are no steps or stiles & the route is quite flat. Pathways are mostly natural and could include uneven sections, mud or debris.
ACCESSIBILITY : whilst this is not a fully / universally “accessible” route, this stomp MAY be more accessible to some folks due to the managed terrain, proximity to public transport and options for (self-guided) shortening of the route. Please see the Accessibility notes below.
Meeting Point :
We'll be meeting at Brighton Station in the morning and taking the train to Falmer. Ticket holders can join at stops along the way if they're more convenient, or meet at our arrival time at Falmer Station, which can also be reached by bus or car. Full timings will be shared with stompers approx 72 hours before the stomp.
General Info:
Dykeing Boots (@dykeingboots) is a community of dykes, queers and allies based in Brighton and Hove.
All are welcome on our walks and we do not tolerate any transphobia, racism, homophobia, sexism, ableism or any similar shite
🍁 We'll take this stomp at a steady & relaxed pace. Bring some snacks & water, and stop to smell the flowers!
🥾 As always, we cannot predict the British weather - please ensure you have appropriate and comfortable footwear and clothing for the stomp.
🍻 Due to DB committee commitments, there won't be an ‘organised’ (lol) pub stop after this stomp. We are QUITE sure there will be stompers who will want to stick around / find a pub / have a picnic etc and encourage everyone feeling social to come together and enjoy!
🐕 We LOVE having dogs on our stomps, and ask that before you decide whether to bring a furry friend along you read the countryside code guidance linked here and agree to follow the guidance when with Dykeing Boots. Basically, you are responsible for your pup so keep them in your sight and make sure to clean up after them 
💷 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.
🎟️ We cap the number of tickets for our stomps to keep numbers manageable & social :
- If the stomp is sold out, add yourself to the waitlist!
To ensure you don't miss an update, mark “info@outsavvy.com” as a safe sender in your inbox - If you can no-longer attend, please use OutSavvy Resell or choose to Cancel your ticket (both available up to 12 hours before the stomp) to give another stomper the opportunity to attend.
🚨If you need any support paying for your travel to and from the walk please email dykeingboots@gmail.com with your bank details and we will send you enough to cover it, no questions asked🚨
