OUR NEXT WALK: 8th October 2026

Led by: Ian Hurst

Meeting Time: 10.30am

Meeting Place: At the RSPB reserve car park.

Details: This is a 4 mile walk around the Broadwater/Eridge rocks nature reserve. There are gradual hills and some of the walk is on forest tracks but mainly decent paths and as far as I can remember no stiles. The RSPB Reserve car park should have enough spaces but car share if possible; free entry but donations welcome. There is no cafe/restaurant nearby unfortunately!

Car-sharing: If anyone wants a lift please contact Ian.

If you want any further details or want to join the walking group Ian can add you to the email list and/or the whatsapp group, just let him know.

General Information :
Our walks include a mixture of terrains: in the summer we try to get out into the countryside through woods and fields while in muddy winter we use routes with at least some quiet lanes or paths with hard surfaces. Details of each walk are sent out in advance with a brief description of what to expect and, on some occasions, we incorporate a cafe or pub..... always popular!

The group runs on the understanding that (normally) Ian leads about half the walks and other members who would like to do so, choose and lead the rest (but no one should feel the slightest pressure to do so).

Routes can be repeats of those we've already done (they look quite different at different times of year anyway!) or brand new. We tend to focus on the local area but have enjoyed going further afield. Car sharing is usually possible.

New members are always welcome (and their dogs too…).
