OUR WALK
Our approximately 6.6 mile picturesque circular walk wends its way up and down a number of gradual hills. Our route heads south across the Dudwell valley and climbs up to Oxley Green. From there, we continue past some interesting houses and through the grounds of 16th century Socknersh Manor, which was once a weekend party home belonging to Tom Jones and Englebert Humperdinck. We head back across the Dudwell valley passing Grandturzel and return to the starting point via Burwash High Street. Mostly we walk along good footpaths, shady tracks, and quiet country lanes.
There are only a few stiles. The ground is expected to be dry and the weather to be pleasant.
IMPORTANT
1. To contact me on the walk day, please phone/text me rather than messaging Meetup. I will send my number to attendees a couple of days before the walk.
2. Please remember that accidents can happen anywhere. You take part at your own risk, and the walk leader cannot be held responsible for any injuries.
3. Consider bringing sunscreen, sunglasses, sun hat, rain jacket, warm jacket, gloves/warm hat depending on the weather, and of course wear comfortable footwear.
