I didn’t attend today’s walk, but if you did, please feel free to comment.

The next walk is on Saturday and is entitled Forests & Fields. It will be led by Margaret, starting from Buxted Railway Station (GR TQ497 234 (Explorer map 135)) and will be 11 miles in length. There will be a pub stop for lunch.

As a result of the overrun of the engineering works being done on the canal near the Onslow Arms pub in Loxwood, a short stretch of the bridleway (no. 809) to the west of the B2133 is shut off for 21 days, from the 22nd October.

The (quite considerable) overrun of the engineering works by the Wey & Arun canal trust has caused considerable disruption and annoyance locally, and the current metal barriers to either side of the road are extremely unsightly (leading to a local petition for their replacement by something more in character). Fortunately, we are over the worst, as the road is no longer (partially) obstructed by the digging of the new canal under the road.

I didn’t attend today’s walk, but if you did, please feel free to comment.

Addendum – Richard has supplied me with a couple of links to photos/video clips of the walk:

Next walk is Cricket Bats & Castle on Sunday. Meet at 10 am at Robertsbridge Railway Station. It’s a 9 mile walk lead by Karen.
