Overview

This is an alternative to the Cowfold walk that was originally scheduled for today.

It’s just straight along the top and back. Likely to me muddy in places after recent weather but not as bad as across the farmland.

Please be aware that although this is a National Trust car park you still need to’ pay’/ obtain your ticket via a the Just Park App.This takes additional time. 
Please bring a snack.

Please text the leader in you plan to join this walk.

If you decide to come on the day please turn up in good time ready to start at 10am. Please check the website in case of cancellation.
