We are the Mid Sussex Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A walk linking less frequently visited parts of the Forest, starting and finishing by crossing the Royal Ashdown Forest Golf Course. We will head for Goat Cross and then make our way to Birch Grove before starting our return towards the Forest Centre where we will have lunch. We then loop back to Forest Row.
There is one unavoidable, short stretch which will probably be very wet and muddy. Gaiters and/or walking sticks could be useful in their own ways.
Please text the leader if you would like to join this walk and bring a picnic lunch, but it should be possible to buy hot drinks and/or cake at the Forest Centre.
Update following walkout 15/10/24: The route is still walkable, but the conditions are more typical of February than October! There are quite a lot of wet and/or muddy bits, but also stretches of very pleasant walking with good views.
Tompsets Banks car park off Chapel Lane, Forest Row. Important: Your sat nav may suggest you approach the car park by turning right off the A22 directly into Tompsets Bank. This is not recommended and it is better to carry on to Forest Row and proceed via Hartfield Road and Chapel Lane.
