Knee strain / too little take-up
We are the Mid Sussex Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A linear walk from Worlds End, Burgess Hill up onto the Downs and across to Lewes, returning by train.
Meet up roadside outside Wivelsfield train station. Largely level in the morning, across Ditchling Common through the Blackbrook bluebell Wood, past Plumpton racecourse to the Half Moon, PH for lunch (pre-order please). A stiff climb up onto the South Downs Way is then rewarded by a long and gentle scenic descent down past Blackcap and the old Lewes racecourse with a last short rise for the views by Lewes castle before dropping down to the train station. Ten or so easy stiles in the morning, and a stile-free free-style afternoon ;)
Please text the leader to book onto this walk.
[postponed from Tuesday 22 April]
When alighting the train at Wivelsfield, take the steps down from the ticket office to meet up on Leylands Road. If coming by car instead, the nearest parking (free) is some 5 to 10 minutes away.
Leylands Road, by the entrance to Wivelsfield railway station, near the bike racks. [If coming by car rather than train, park in the laybys off Leylands Park or in the Bedelands Nature Reserve CP off Maple Drive (RH15 8DL) - c. 600m and 8-10 mins away by foot from the station entrance]
Station Road main entrance to Lewes railway station
