May's 2023 Ramble

On Wednesday four NERDS went on a ramble,

(beginning with the usual train journey)

and yes, we did walk a bit, We were Sandyballs, Froggy, Matt et Moi.

Paco had a bad ribcage and everyone else was just "No show."


The weather was warm and sunny, although nobody dared to turn up in shorts. We met a couple of random people at Lewes railway station who wore shorts ( see pics) but they weren't going to come with us.


Anyway, S.B. led us up left from the station and down an exciting road which allegedly led to Lewes Dump. This route was actually quite pleasant even in the good weather when you had to walk, as long as you were able to dodge the odd (and frequent) car bombing along to unload its four poster bed at the dump. After a while we headed towards the Mighty Ouse and found some new paths

in the vicinity which led past the bourgeois townhouse dwellings of the Lewes Elite.Very Posh, Very jealous.

Matt began to sniff.......and said he could smell something.......


Eventually we fetched up at The Gardeners

where there was a pretty barmaid and where we drank some Harveys.

Then we had to race up School Hill quick to get to The Rights of Man for lunch. We managed to cram ourselves around two small tables upstairs,

outside in the boiling sun.

But what a privilege, what a view. Both someone's washing and The Castle.

Food and drink wasn't bad and we shimmered in the heat.


Finally after lots of puddings and coffees and illicit under the table smuggled brandy from SB we called it a day and went home.


Thanks to Sandyballs for an interesting route, to Froggy for the photos and to Matt for smelling out The Money.

Love to All.
