Cycling the cuckoo trail and Eastbourne

East Sussex Weekend cycling trip around Eastbourne including sea front and town centre.
After Eastbourne was heading to Polegate where traffic free cuckoo cycling route started all the way to Heathfield which was very calm and enjoyable ride.
After Heathfield we cycled another 15-20min on quite country roads to Dernwood farm wild camping where we spend the night.
