Overview

Non-Ramblers walk - note you walk at own risk. 

This is a chargeable event walk. Spa Valley Railway is hosting this event in order to raise money for a new Broom Lane Bridge.

We meet outside the West station in Sainsburys car park at 9.00. 

Route: TW to Birchden Junction, then walk back to Groombridge, where we board a train to return to TW, circa 12.30 - 13.00. 

Optional extra: guided tour of TW West station afterwards.

Moderate - flat, but there are challenges to walking on sleepers.
