September 2018 Ramble Joining Instructions

Hi all,

This month we walk on Wednesday 19th. I have been in touch with Bronco and he is keen to join us for lunch. Therefore we are going to ramble to Ringmer from Lewes Railway station on a route yet to be finalised. In Ringmer we will have lunch at The Anchor ( Bronco’s local)

and then take the 28 bus back to Lewes.

Details, timings, etc to follow.

Regards to all

2018 August Ramble

Ramble 345

Wednesday 8.8.2018

Those attending:- Froggy (as Routemaster!), Lafayette, Sandyballs, The Bish, Curly and Paco.



The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men



The general idea was to travel from Lewes Station to The Plough Inn at Upper Dicker

via The Berwick Inn at Berwick Station.

At the Berwick Inn refreshments were taken and they proved to be somewhat expensive. (£4.60 for a pint of cider!!)

Nevertheless, Froggy herded up the NERDS and with map and instructions at hand everyone set out with the routmaster in charge.

After traipsing around the reservoir we searched for The Weald Way and got lost among the fields and fairy paths.

Escaping from the fairies

everyone headed for a church spire in the distance hoping it was near any village which would hopefully have a pub. We arrived more by luck than any judgement at Arlington churchyard not too far from The Yew Tree pub.

There we were assured of a welcome, great food and drinks.

The return home via The Berwick Inn proved splintered as most of the NERDS walked directly to the Inn but Froggy and Curly rambled around seemingly a little lost among the fairies until they eventually arrived at The Berwick Inn a half hour after everyone else.

After that the train journey to Lewes and all points southerly proved uneventful.

Yippee! we're going to The Plough again.

What sort of styles are we going to encounter? I'm stylish enough as it is. ( Maybe not as stylish as Matt, though)

Joining Instructions for August 2018 Ramble

I am your route-master for this one.

Seaford/Newhaven contingent to take the 10:25/10:32 train to Lewes. Please buy a return ticket to Berwick (£3.30 with railcard).

There will only be 6 minutes between arriving at Lewes at 10:41 and departing for Berwick at 10:47. Harry, could you please meet us on platform 3? No time for the Runaway, sorry, but we should be able to quaff a pint or two at the Berwick Inn.

The plan is to walk to the Plough at Upper Dicker along some of the Wealdway and return to Berwick Station along some of the

Vanguard Way. It won't be as long as I had planned as there will be no detour to Pete's Yew Tree.

Imogene, I hope that you and Bandit can make it, but be warned there are a few styles

on the way back! (Ed. Froggy; please note that this is a STILE!!)

See y'all next Wednesday.
