Walk to Bodiam Castle and Beyond, Saturday 25th April 200911 walkers, 22 miles - leader Jerome Ripp
A group of 11 took the long but lovely train ride to Robertsbridge for a glorious walk of 22 miles in brisk but warm sunshine. Via the Rother valley to Bodiam Castle, an impressive semi-ruin stuck in an enormous moat. South through undulating countryside with lots of woodland carpeted with bluebells and lunch stop in the lovely village of Sedlescombe. A long section in the woodlands surrounding Powdermill reservoir with lots of variety and scenery that seemed more like Canada than England. North to Staplecross and a superb final stretch with an amazing view across the Rother valley. Megan said it was one of the 5 best walks she had been on. Of course the other 4 were also led by me!! A really great day.
