Duncton Hill Morning Walk 19th February 2020

After meeting at The Badger, Jennifer led us to a small car park on Duncton Hill. After walking through woodland on the side of Woolavington Down, we emerged into green pastures and headed towards Teglaze Woods to find a coffee stop. Suitably refreshed we made our way to Crown Tegleaze spotting a few skylarks on the way. Crown Teglaze was once the highest point on the Southdowns Way until someone added Hampshire, with Butser Hill being a mere 15 metres higher.  Conditions were wet underfoot but all survived to reach the Badgers pub for an excellent lunch.

Cocking Day Walk 12th Febuary 2020

Jennifer led this walk, high up above Cocking with excellent views on a clear, sunny but very cool day. After ascending Cocking Down we turned left towards Venus Wood and Westdean Woods, where we stopped for a drink break. The descent continued down towards Singleton, with an especially steep part where the footpath crossed the earth works of an Iron Age fort. This area above Singleton has seen centuries of human habitation and possibly we are using it less for living on than many occasions in the past. After an excellent lunch in The Partridge in Singleton, some walkers chose to skip the last part of the walk. The brave souls who completed the walk up Levin Down and back to Cocking Hill car park completed a very scenic 8 miles and had very good weather all day.

Hill Brow Morning Walk 5th February 2020

On a beautiful cold but bright morning Barbara and Mary led a group of seventeen from Liss village up towards Hill Brow and on to Rake Hanger through woodland designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest managed by English Nature. Here a coffee break and chocolates gave sustenance (thank you Dot) before ascending a pretty steep hill into Rake village and then on to East Liss. After this delightful walk of nearly five miles we had a short drive to the Jolly Drover’s pub and enjoyed a very good lunch plus an abundance of birthday chocolates (happy birthdays Jennifer and John).

Hill Brow Day Walk 29th January 2020

Isabel's walk started from the car park in Tullecombe Forestry car park and we found the paths had suffered from the recent rain so several detours were necessary. The rain stayed away during the morning and we arrived in good time for lunch in The Jolly Drover in Hill Brow after a less muddy stroll along Rake Hanger. Well fed, we returned via the bike track in Combe Hill and the magnificent trees in Tullecombe. The walk was about 6.1/2 miles.

Harting Morning Walk 22nd January 2020

Peter and Trevor were our walk leaders for a wander around the Hartings, deep in the Sussex Downs.  A somewhat cold morning but no wind or rain. Mist was laying in the valley so no big views were on show, but plenty of signs that spring is just around the corner. There were plenty of attractive houses and gardens to admire and we eventually reached the welcoming 17th century White Hart in South Harting where we all enjoyed a good lunch next to a roaring log fire.
