Summer Woodlands

PARKING and ASSEMBLY
We will park along a long dirt verge on Eatenden Lane about half way along between Netherfield Church and the railway line at the north east end of the lane. Look for the footpath signs on both sides of the lane.
We will aim to start walking at 10:45am.

TOILETS
There are no toilets today but lots of handy trees.
LUNCH
We will stop for lunch at St John the Baptist Church so please bring your favourite sustenance and something to sit on. We may also have a short view break at some handy logs before lunch.
OUR WALK
Our 5.5 mile walk is mostly through undulating woods heading south past Netherfield Place and then turning north up to St John the Baptist Church. We will see a milestone for London to Ashburnham Place - apparently part of the ancient drovers' network. After lunch we walk through Crowhurst Wood and circle back to our cars. The woods vary in character and provide welcome shade.
Only two stiles.

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. Walking poles are always useful.

I look forward to welcoming you on Sunday 5 July.
Each and every one of our footsteps helps to keep our paths accessible. 🍂🍁🌳
