Report:
After a false start in Forest Row to allow Dan to catch up we headed out past the Golf Course with a short pause at a WW1 memorial to troops training nearby. Once across the A22 a long climb took us to the summit of the walk. The next highlight was almost stepping on a young adder! Once out of Ashdown Forest we had a number of high stiles to negotiate which proved tricky for the dogs! A slight detour was taken to look at the ruins of Brambletye. Then onto The Brambletye Hotel for well earned refreshment.
