Overview

This walk is likely to be cancelled due ASLEF Strike on 01/09/2023.

This walk is roughly west to east and is pleasant. There however is plenty of mud and, when the path passes through Woodland Trust property, there is a steep downhill followed by a steep uphill both of which are slippy (if there has been rain). There are about 10 stiles at least one of which is a little awkward. The Pub Lunch is at The Hurstwood (https://www.thehurstwood.com/) where we expect to arrive about 1:15pm. There is a covered shelter opposite which would accommodate 3 people for picnic (or playing field if weather is good).

Please book by Monday 28th August by text for a pub lunch.

An off peak day return, with a Freedom Pass and Senior Railcard, from Boundary Zone 6 to Tunbridge Wells is £8.30. A possible train to get to London Bridge from Sutton is 09:56 from platform 1. The return buses (251/252) at the end of the walk to Tunbridge Wells are at 16:11, 16:41, 17:11, 18:36 (I hope to catch 16:41).
