Hi all ,

just got my t25 yesterday , fancy taking family out for a lunch ( made in camper van ).
any recomendations , i live in horsham so anywhere between gatwick and brighton would be ideal.

just somthing with a nice view etc... maybe up on the south downs ? somewhere with an ice cream van would keep the ladys in my family very happy ( allthough not sure how many ice cream vans are around this time of year )

cheers

Matt

Seven Sisters near Eastbourne is really nice. A short walk to the White cliffs and beach is really nice. Icecream van in the car park. Jed's recommendation. We had rely nice weekend around there.

I have often thought about doing a weekend holiday guide for trips under £50 for a family of four

Oops, hope the fog didn't spoil the view too much!!
Stopped there for an ice cream there last week when I was on my mountain bike.
Guess he's a fair weather trader:-)
that normally happens to me though, someone recommends a great place and when I go it's peeing down.

Sorry for late reply, but highdown hill just off A259 is good, and they have a tea room up there thats does the most reasonable cream tea.............
