We aim to start walking at 10:45.

LUNCH
We will stop for lunch as well as a snack. Please bring your own favourite sustenance and something to sit on.
OUR WALK
Our lovely High Weald walk heads south from Wadhurst into the north of Wadhurst Park. Check out their website https://wadhurstpark.co.uk for information about their extraordinary approach to sustainable land management and the revival of a beautiful, biodiverse and historic landscape. We exit Wadhurst Park on the west and follow the Tide Brook, one of the sources of the River Rother, before heading north to the hamlet of Tidebrook and circling back to Wadhurst.
We walk for about 7 miles up and down small hills along tracks and well used paths through mixed woods interspersed with small fields and views.
There is the usual mix of stiles and gates.
No steep hills but a total of 350 metres/1150 feet ascent and the same descent.

I look forward to welcoming you on Sunday 26 October.
