I have looked at the weather forecast for tomorrow, Saturday, and the winds during the walk period range from 49 to 54 miles per hour with gusts of up to 60 mph hour.  So in the interests of safety, I am cancelling this walk.  Jean

No parking in Falmer due to football match so for 28/29 bus - alight at Falmer Station stop and take path through to bollards to meet leader.  If taking 25 bus - alight at Sussex House stop - go uphill to T junction, turn right and meet leader at bollards.   Aim to start walk at 10.15 am.  The walk will finish at Lewes Prison but there is a pub nearby and sandwich bar.  Obviously there is an uphill section to get to Blackcap.

My apologies, but I will have to cancel my walk on Ashdown Forest on Saturday due to a knee problem.  I don't think 9 miles on the forest terrain will help it recover!  Jean

The forecast is for dry weather so I hope some of you will join me on the above walk.  It's 8+ miles and passes through woods and fields.  There are 2 pubs in Fletching for lunch as well as a cafe and places for a picnic.  I shall be at the start which is at the top of the main car park in Uckfield - aim for the church spire - but there should be transport from the meeting place at Preston Park Station at 9.30 am - London Road side.  Jean
