September 26th Sight Seeing Trip to London £15
Thats right, another chance to catch the sights of London with a guided tour on skates (weather permitting) This is a great deal because the price includes train fare and you'll have Mark and Tim as your guides.
The trip is designed for photo opportunity, ambling speed and plenty of stops - so speed freaks would be better off on the Sunday Stroll!
We'll start the trip from Eastbourne Station from about 10am and Expect to be back at Eastbourne Station around 8pm. Contact Tim to Register.
(Assuming we make the minimum numbers for trip (10) - Failing that we'll do the breakfast skate in Eastbourne as usual.)
