It's a straight run down to Brighton I presume? No rest halfway down?

Yep, straight down - we stop for 5 mins or so at Turners Hill and at the top of the Beacon. 17s take about 3 hours. faster groups get there quicker, slower groups later.

[quote="MattR"][quote="Bo-Gilly"]Take the train back ?
Brighton to East Croydon can take as little as 36 mins. The average time is 46 mins. There are about 108 trains per day that make the journey, so getting back by wonish should be fairly easy imo.

I made that mistake earlier in the year, it costs £17.90
A few tips for getting the train back:
1. Ask around at the cafe and try and find at least 3 other people who are getting the train back to East Croydon.
2. When you get to the station DON'T use the ticket machines, go to the travel centre tucked away on the right as you go into the station.
3. Ask for the cheapest tickets for a group of 4 travelling together. Tell them you only want the cheaper trains. (Unless you are desperate to get back very quickly, even the semi-fast trains are quick) Check which trains you can use your ticket on.
We got tickets back on Saturday for just under £7 each. (Group of 7, but I think we would have got that price for four or more).
Hope this is helpful
