This will be a circular walk from Amberley and take in Arundel roughly in the middle of the walk where there are shops and cafes.  So you may like to plan to grab some refreshment there but I would carry some snacks and a drink with you.

It is an early start – catching a train from East Croydon to Amberley, from where we return.  The train departs at 8.53am.  Please arrange to have a day return ticket ready be present in the ticket hall by 8.45am.  To link up with others who may be able to share a group ticket or railcard, arrive much earlier, say 8.35am.

The walk will be on public footpaths, sometimes on riverside, sometimes up and over a low hill and fields and such like.  All very beautiful scenery.  Likely muddy in places.

Don’t forget to bring extra layers, waterproofs, good walking shoes or boots.  It would be helpful to have something to sit on such as a mat or plastic bag, if we make a prolonged stop enroute in the countryside.

In case you wondered, the Bridge Inn by Amberley station closes at 5pm (and stops serving food earlier), I believe.   As does the Riveside Tea rooms – although we may reach the tea rooms for last orders at 4.30pm.
