In the footsteps of Winnie the Pooh (Ashdown Forest) - 10 miles

Three Cheers for Pooh! 2026 marks the centenary of the publication of Winnie the Pooh. On this 10-mile walk through Ashdown Forest (aka 100 Aker Wood) we will follow in the footsteps of that wondrous bear, stopping for a picnic lunch at Hartfield (where there is also a pub, tea rooms and a shop selling ice cream). The afternoon section of the walk follows the Wealdway. Access is by car only so please offer lifts to other Ramblers if you have a car. Parking is £5 and is payable on several apps, including PayByPhone, RingGo and Just Park.

Cars are required. Ramblers who have cars, please offer lifts to others. The fee for parking is £5 and is payable on several Apps, including PayByPhone, RingGo and Just Park.

The Brighton and Hove Group of The Ramblers and its leaders accept no responsibility for any claims arising from the activities of the group. All walk leaders must be fully paid-up members of the Ramblers Association.

All sporting and leisure activities have inherent hazards associated with them and rambling is no exception. In spite of the safety of members being the paramount concern, accidents will occasionally occur. It is important, therefore, that when entering into the activity, each member appreciates that they have a responsibility to identify the hazards and take all reasonable steps to eliminate or minimise the potential for an accident to arise.
