Some time later!:-
Anyway, my memories of the ill-fated March Ramble. It took place on THURSDAY 23rd – always a bad plan to abandon the usual Wednesday plan. The gods don’t approve and it usually rains! Prior to the day of the walk the excuses started to roll in – the usual “ I feel a bit ill”
, “ I am on a cruise”, “ I mistook the date” etc.. So at the meeting point at Lewes station
there was only myself and Froggy. Although not technically a quorum, we decided to go ahead with the walk as there was a rumour that one or two members may meet us at the pub – The Juggs at Kingston.
The route was familiar to all NERDS and is famous for being almost totally on tarmac. Mercifully it was dry and fine and the time passed pleasantly and there were no tiresome periods of silence that occasionally characterize some rambles.
Eventually we made the pub and rushed to the bar, tongues hanging out and desperate to slake our thirst with foaming pints. We passed into the dining room and found Matt and the Bish ensconced there and necking pints ( well the Bish was). Turns out these two worthies had arrived in Matt’s car. So there were only two walkers
on the day! We dined and quaffed well and then it was time to hit the road. Well it was for me as Froggy also returned to Seaford in Matt’s car. Eschewing the almost non-existent 123 bus service I had to pound the pavement
back to Lewes solo. So ended the March 2023 Ramble – I don’t know if rambles have Numbers any more?
Cheers
Harry
