Sunday August 18, 10am: Meet at ‘The Mens’ car park just off the A272, 2 miles SW of Wisborough Green (GR TQ 024237). Dieppe Remembered. Out through Hawkhurst Court – from where the ill-fated Raid on Dieppe (on August 19, 1942) was planned – to Brinkwells Cottage once the home of composer Edward Elgar.
