Walk Report
A Sussex and Surrey Semi-circle, Saturday 22nd February 202015 walkers, 18.8 miles, 1.156ft of ascent - leader Gavin Fuller. Mud rating 10/10
15 walkers convened at Horley for a walk which had needed to have a rejigged opening few miles due to a landslip taking out trains to the original starting point. The noise of Gatwick accompanied the opening section, which then joined a Sussex Border Path in need of some serious maintenance, with flooded and mudded sections making going interesting to say the least. A wet autumn and winter resulted in further mudbaths in the morning, although once the afternoon session got going after some slow café service the mud quotient thankfully diminished. The group survived the hillier rigours of the North Downs and rolling countryside around Caterham and Coulsdon to arrive at the station just in time for the next train, and only 20 minutes later than hoped for.
