Rambles on and around campus
The Sustainable Action Networks at Falmer and Moulsecoomb organise regular rambles during lunch hours. You would be surprised to discover how beautiful our surroundings actually are.
This is a chance for anyone to take a breath of fresh air and get some exercise - you cannot avoid hills in Brighton.
You can also start your own lunch time ramble, just get in touch with Elona Hoover at Moulsecoomb (E.Hoover@brighton.ac.uk) or Helen Basterra at Falmer (H.Basterra@brighton.ac.uk).
