Overview

This walk replaces walk originally advertised, which will hopefully now take place on 2nd September. 
This will be a shorter local walk , please note start time of 9:30.

The walk I am offering is mostly in the shade.

We can do a walk of just over 6 miles or other versions up to 8.75 miles.

The walk leads us through West Wood and Blackbrook Wood and we can extend towards Streat or return towards Plumpton & Wivelsfield.The walk through St Helena Farm will be out in the sunshine, but most of the rest of it should offer some degree of shade.

Please bring a hat, drink and sun lotion etc.

Please bring a snack / picnic. If we do the longer version .

I suggest there’s the opportunity to have a drink in the Cock Inn at the end.

If you are coming please can you let me know.

Apologies for the change in the programme.
