We are a strolling group who walk every Saturday throughout the year. We do a 3 mile circular walk in either Sussex or Kent, over fields and stiles, starting from and finishing at a pub for lunch between 12.00 and 12:30. All walks start at 10.30 am.
If you have ordered your food in advance, please ring the pub if you need to cancel your meal.
Mud can be expected at certain times of the year, so please wear suitable footwear.
On 9th September, Carole arranged something completely different. We had a guided tour of Pevensey starting from the old Court House. We were shown the jail and we then walked round to the back of the town and had a look round St. Nicholas' church and the graveyard attached. Our guide described some of the people who are buried here. We then went on to the castle and found out that the adjacent car park used to be a cattle market. It was a very interesting day led by our knowledgeable guide.
Here is a preview of Firle where we will shortly be walking. Pictures taken on reconnaissance.
On 16th May, we went to Cross-in-Hand meeting in the car park adjacent to Darch's Wood. We walked all around the wood, leaving and re-joining it. The picture shows volunteers who were busy maintaining the woods. We went on to Heathfield for our lunch.
On 28th March, we visited Sissinghurst, meeting at the Milk House pub. We walked to Paddocks Farm, East of Cranbrook and then returned via a different route. It was a nice, sunny morning. Some of us ate at the Milk House and others went on to Sissinghurst castle for their lunch.
On 14th March, we visited Waldron. It was a sunny day with only light winds. However, the countryside has not dried up yet as this picture shows. Madeleine, Deborah and Caroline are shown wading through a large puddle. We all negotiated this and then returned to Waldron to eat at the Star Inn.
The first walk of 2026 took place on 3rd January when we visited Hellingly. We started on the Cuckoo Trail towards Horam and then branched off, passing Hellingly church. It had snowed the previous day and was still very cold but the sun was out and winds were only light. We went on to the King's Head in Horsebridge for our lunch. Thanks to Lorna for the pictures above.
On 13th December we visited Pett, meeting at the Two Sawyers. We walked through Pett Wood and Guestling Wood, passing close to Guestling Church. We then returned to the Two Sawyers and had a good lunch. It was a lovely sunny morning with no wind.
On 22nd November we visited Boreham Street meeting at the Bull's Head. We walked down Boreham Lane and then through Wartling Wood towards Herstmonceux Castle. We returned via a different path and Wood Lane to the pub for our lunch.
On 8th November the group made the short journey to Catsfield meeting in the Village Hall car park. We walked through fields and woods returning to Catsfield to eat at the White Hart. It was a fine, dry day ideal for walking.
On 11th October we visited Hartfield. Part of the walk took in a former railway line. See above for pictures.
