Lighthouse Challenge Checking-in

Location

The arrival point is by the kiosk close to St. Bedes School, Duke’s Drive, Eastbourne at the foot of the Downs. If you are using a GPS for navigation, the nearest post code is BN20 7XL. Parking is limited so do please allow time to find parking spaces a short walk away.

When you arrive, you will see banners signposting the event, and a lane immediately in front of the kiosk. Just proceed straight up the lane for approximately half a mile and you will eventually see the check-in tables.

Checking-in

Please see timings below – these are important because, after the closing time for check-in, we cannot allow anyone else to register/proceed as safety will be compromised due either to failing light or the risk of being cut off by the tide.

There will be tables to handle the checking-in process, and we ask you please not to by-pass check-in as it is important, for safety reasons, that we have an accurate list of all those participating.

Finishing

When you finish the walk, please return to the check-in area where you will be able to collect a certificate to show that you have completed the Lighthouse Challenge.
