Overview

Please book with the leader.

This is a repeat of the Boxing Day walk minus the cake!

It starts at Iping Common car park and goes north on the New Lipchis Way to Woolbeding Common. We then follow the Serpent's Trail to Queen's Corner where we turn south through woods, fields and valleys to Hammer Wood and pond. We return to Iping Common, follow the River Rother and cross the A272 to return to the car park over the heath.

This is a hilly walk with muddy tracks in places.
