As for the soi-disant Ramble. Not a lot happened really. There was a prior flurry of excuses for absences . Charlie had man flu and Matt was away cruising. These last two were fairly predictable, of course. Nothing from Mike or Paco and Tony found something better to do (campaigning to be the next Archbishop of Canterbury perhaps.)
Anyway I was sitting on my ownsome in The Runaway Cafe when the rest of the party turned up. Just Froggy!! WE were debating whether or not to abandon the outing and just go for a pie and a pint when - luckily - we were joined by our newest recruit. Dave The Hacker!
We were now officially quorate! So we jumped on the train and travelled one stop to the scenic village of Glynde . The pub is the new branch of The Steamworks
and is part of Glynde station. So from alighting from the train to the door of the pub is , oh, about 20 yards. Our shortest ever Ramble!
The Steamworks is very much NERDS approved. Good range of beer - including Harveys and pub grub for about a tenner, What more could you possibly want? After a couple of pints - well 3 - Dave suggested we switch to red wine. We had a glass there and then took the train back to Lewes and decamped to The Lansdown Arms for more vin rouge. No dogs being held by the ears this time. Remember Brian?
So despite our restricted numbers, a good time was had by all!
Cheers Brian
Harry
