May's Ramble date

Dear NERDS,

The next ramble will be on Wednesday 18th May since most of us can make that date.

Sandyballs will be issuing joining instructions in due course, and the general idea is to start in Lewes and end up in Ringmer where we shall meet Bronco for lunch.

Make sure you're all fit enough for the competitive sprint up Chapel Hill!

New arrangements for April's Ramble

Dear NERDS,

Sadly, Sandyballs is unable to attend next Wednesday's ramble and so has delegated the organisation to me.

Because of the threat of divine vengeance, threat of plague and/or rail strikes we shall now have to proceed to NERDS' Plan C.

Meet up at Lavender Lodge Newhaven at 10 30 ish on Wednesday and we shall ramble to The Flying Fish via Piddinghoe.

Pray there's not a bus strike as well that day.

Lafayette.

April's Ramble problems

Thanks to eagle-eyed Captain, I have been informed that there is a planned rail strike on Tuesday and Wednesday. If it goes ahead there will probably be no trains at all between Seaford and Lewes. Of course the strike may be called off - in which case Paco will not have to be involved in secondary picketing!

There is very little in the way of bus links between Lewes and Seaford. The 123 service is very infrequent and only goes from Newhaven. After discussion with Lafayette it has been decided that, as a Plan B, we will all take a bus to Brighton and do a ramble from there. Of course Brighton can be reached by bus for all of us.

So we will have to wait and see how things develop. Possibility of the strike being cancelled in which case we can do Plan A and have lunch with Bronco. Will be in touch again probably Monday evening.

April's Ramble ?

This month we stroll on Wednesday 27th. It is planned that we walk to Ringmer from Lewes - over the top (although some would say that the NERDS have been 'Over the Top' for a long time). There will be inevitably some hill climbing - especially up Chapel Hill.

The idea is that we lunch at the newly reopened Anchor pub in Ringmer, where we will be joined by Bronco! so I hope we can all make it. Bronco has confirmed he will be there, although he may need cheering up because of the departure of Crunchie to The Great Paddock in the Sky...... Crunchie 2 is apparently on his way though.

Train and meeting info to follow.

Happy frolicking in the Spring sunshine.
