We will meet in the car park at Mark Cross Garden Centre (Sussex Country Gardener) ready for a 9.30am start. The Garden Centre is on the A267 just north of the junction with the B2100 from Rotherfield and Crowborough, on the left hand side. Please park in the lower section of the car park. Please note that the A267 is closed at Argos Hill, between Mayfield and Mark Cross. To avoid this, if you are coming from the south, travelling north on the A267, turn left just after leaving Five Ashes village, down Horleigh Green Road, signposted Rotherfield. This will bring you into Rotherfield, where you turn right at the Kings Arms. Continue on this road (B2100) until you reach the junction with the A267 at Mark Cross. This is not the official diversion but should be more convenient.
