Take part in the 2023 Lighthouse Challenge

For those who have not previously undertaken the Challenge, it essentially involves a walk to and around the Beachy Head Lighthouse and then back, in exchange for a modest entry fee which is donated to local charities.

This is only possible on certain days of the year and has proved very popular with at least 1,000 walkers taking part each year.

Each participant receives a commemorative certificate at the finish.

It is organised by Eastbourne AM Rotary Club.

Rotarian Martin Wellings said: “This event has grown massively since its first year back

in 2013. The purpose then was to raise money to repaint the Beachy Head lighthouse at a cost of

some £30,000. Had this not been undertaken, the iconic red and white stripes would have been allowed to

fade and eventually disappear. Due to the popularity of the event, we have continued to organise the Challenge every year since, with the help of volunteers.”
