Walk Report

950 Years Commemoration, Saturday 9th April 2016
10 walkers, 19 miles - leader Jerome Ripp
Mud, brown mud, black mud, swampy mud, clay mud, slippery mud, sludgy mud. If this was the case in 1066, maybe Harold and his army thought that William would just turn round and head back to Normandy. Anyway, despite all this and the grey leaden skies, we did have a good walk heading east from Robertsbridge to gain high ground as an army might have done to Staplecross and later south east through dense woodlands to Seddlescombe for lunch. The afternoon was spent on various sections of the 1066 country walk as we headed south towards Crowthorne to pick up tracks that William's army might have used on their way to Battle which we reached just as the clouds cleared and good weather arrived.
