Join 6heads for our first steps to sustainability walk of the new Decade, a day after Earth Hour and just after the Spring Equinox.

Steps to sustainability is a highlight of the 6heads calendar where we bring together likeminded change makers from our community to jump on a train and spend the day exploring the countryside and new ideas - not to mention some delicious food.

We are absolutely delighted to join up with Furnace Brook in Sussex for our Spring walk. We are going to meet at Charing Cross station and jump on a train to Battle in Sussex. From there we will meet the Furnace Brook team and walk through the local countryside until we arrive at Furnace Brook.

We will be hosted for the day by Alistair Gould

Alistair has worked with land and property over many years with experience in various industry sectors in the field of low carbon design, research and project co-ordination. Alongside Alistair’s qualifications as a Chartered Surveyor and Chartered Environmentalist is his experience and passion in the field of Permaculture.

He has contributed substantially to various environmental education initiatives with school groups in London and the South East. Alistair continues to work with public and private sector organisations that are making changes to operations to reflect deep cuts in carbon emissions alongside systemic other positive environmental actions. He is progressing this work through his roles at Helionix Designs and the Carbon Free Group

We will then be treated to a locally sourced lunch and a tour of this stunning area of outstanding beauty. Walking through the woods and lakes we will learn about the history of Furnace Brook and it's plans for rewilding, permaculture and community arts and eco-engagement going forwards. Brimming with personality - this is going to be a truly fantstic day - we hope you can spend it with us.

At the end of the day there will be an opportunity to kick back with a beer from the Pearly Brewery onsite before getting a lift back to the station and home in time for bed.

Details

When:

Sunday 29th March, 9 am (PLEASE NOTE THE CLOCKS SPRING FORWARD this Sunday). Returning to London by approximately 7pm

If you are based in Sussex you are welcome to join us at 10.45 at Battle Station and simply buy a lunch ticket to reserve your space.

Where:

We will meet at Charing Cross Station in London and jump on a train together to Battle.

Places are very limited so we're asking you to secure your place by pre-paying for your train ticket and a contribution to a locally sourced vegetarian lunch.

Please dress warmly and bring waterproofs in case it rains. You'll need footwear that is comfortable and that can cope with puddles and mud. Ideally hiking boots, but as this walk is mainly through fields and woodland, comfortable wellingtons or even runners should be okay as long as you don't mind the chance that they might get a bit muddy.

Hope you can join us! Friends all welcome.
