HOME
I started this web site because I wanted to encourage people in Lewes to use public transport, walking and cycling more and because I was amazed that people didn’t know what was possible. On the site you will find information about walks and cycle rides, bus and train routes and the cheapest fares.
Do send any material that you think ought to go on it. Facts are preferred to opinions.
The site is a companion to my monthly email newsletter, Travel Log Lewes, which contains the latest news about travel in Lewes. If you would like to get future copies of the newsletter email me at travelman@travelloglewes.co.uk saying that you want a copy Your email address will not be given to anyone else.
You are welcome to use material from this site to promote public transport providing that you tell people about the newsletter and how to subscribe
FIRST EVER TRAVEL LOG WALK
Put Saturday 24th April in your diary- Its the date of our first ever Travel Log bluebell walk. We will take a 11.15 125 bus from Lewes to Barcombe and a leisurely stroll of about one and a half hours including a visit to the bluebells at Knowlands Wood. By kind permission of the owner, Nick Lear, who has been managing the wood to encourage wildlife and biodiversity, we will be able to walk on paths away from the rights of way, including perhaps a visit to the delightfully named “Sluts Garden”. We will be back in Lewes by 2 pm so you can still do your shopping. No dogs please, because of the wildlife, and no joining the walk at Barcombe, unless you live there!
WHAT'S NEW ON THE SITE
25/3/10- New articles on hitch hiking, maps and grid references and hospital transport
01/3/10- New articles on how to issue your own parking tickets and how much your car is costing you as well as holiday ideas and general updating
FASCINATING FACT
According to the last census, about 22% of households in the Lewes District Council area had no access to a car at all. If you add that percentage to those whose car is not accessible to them because someone else in the household is using it, you have a large number of people who need to walk, cycle, or take public transport if they want to move about. No planning policy which ignores these people can be said to be meeting the needs of the community
