Meet at 9.40am East Croydon Rail Stn to catch 10.03 to Plumpton, Sussex.

The walk is around 8 miles, the bulk of which will be before the lunch stop, and will include quite a climb up to about 600 feet above sea level*, then along a short stretch of the South Downs Way before diving back down again to the Half Moon Inn at the foot of the Downs, south of Plumpton, for a pub stop.

A bracing walk to help blow out the cobwebs of the old year – and those Brexit Blues (whichever side of the great divide you stood on).

Will try and make the 4.29pm train at the latest train back from Plumpton to East Croydon (but there is a pub fairly nearby the station if needed).
