Walk Report
A Summer Crossing of Map 135, Saturday 20th August 201615 walkers, 18.6 miles - leader Jerome Ripp
A footpath starts from the exit of Ashurst station, joins the Sussex Border path briefly and then meets the Wealdway which we followed all day with some minor diversions and loops. Strong winds and a few squally showers ruled out the planned picnic at Camp Hill Clump but the wild weather was in keeping with the vast expanses of Ashdown Forest with colourful heather in profusion and superb views. Lunch was at the Foresters Arms in Fairwarp with village green opposite; the only habitation that we passed all day. The fast pace of the group helped us to arrive in Uckfield, fittingly along a footpath to the station entrance, in time for the 16.34 return train.
