FOOTPATHS GROUP: Sunday May 22, was an excellent day for walking in Ashdown Forest because it was sunny but not too hot. We started the walk at the Goat crossroads, near Wych Cross and proceeded through the forest and on to the border fence of Springhill Wild Fowl Collection where we saw Canada geese, on our side of the fence. We then went into a large open space with a magnificent view of the National Trust property Standen House with East Grinstead in the background. After that, we were into woods with many rhododendrons. At one point, a tree had been blown across the track, but we scrambled over it.

We came to the busy road between Goat to Sharpthorne road, with lots of bends. At this point, I decided to use a whistle and a handkerchief, tied to my walking pole, to warn those in our group of approaching cars. This worked remarkably well. Finally, we made our way to the Cripps Manor Road where we could have turned left taking us straight back to the car park. Instead, we crossed Cripps Manor Road and made our way along a parallel path, the scenic route, taking us back to the car park. The five mile walk was led by Roy.

Our next walk around Pevensey is on Sunday. It is an all day walk at Castle Hill Nature Reserve. Bring a picnic and meet us at 9.30am at North Street car park. For more information visit www.lewesfootpathsgroup.org.uk
