Lewes

FOOTPATHS GROUP: On our recent mid-week walk 12 of us took the train out to Plumpton and walked the six miles back to Lewes. We started off through the race course, then past Ashurst organic farm and on to the agricultural college. Thankfully the mud, which had been really deep two weeks ago during the recee, had subsided a bit. We crossed the road by the Half Moon pub and after following the path across a couple of fields took a coffee break perched on logs in a wooded area. Then we tackled the long slow climb up through the trees to Blackcap. It had been very windy all morning but now the wind was behind us and the route was downhill so we made good time to the racing stables and back to Lewes town centre beating the rain which had been forecast, and indeed arrived, about half an hour later. The walk was led by Janet.
