At the Polegate roundabout where the A22 meets the A27, we will bear right (signposted A27 west). Keep left and go in right lane at lights for Wannock. (this is the 2nd set of lights off the roundabout), its only a small road with light use where we can travel slow and allow to stack up before hitting the A259.

We will then turn left on A259 through East Dean and then right towards Eastbourne - You will see the dramatic views high above Eastbourne before the decent towards the sea front

For those who have booked, we have secured a plot on the seafront next to the main music stage and central to the activities.
