OUR WALK
This circular walk is an easy 7.5 mile walk exploring apple orchards, grassy fields, and hidden bridleways. There are big skies and excellent views. From the church we head to Peasmarsh and a wildlife conservation area followed by apple orchards and Iden Park, a former Victorian rectory. From there we work our way south towards Rye dropping down to the River Tillingham. Finally, we walk through fields of sheep with a gradual incline back up to the church. Paths and tracks are well used and in good condition. There are a few sturdy stiles. We only undulate a total ascent of 217m/712ft.
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.
I look forward to welcoming you on Sunday 28 September.
