Day Walk – Nutley and Ashdown ForestSunday 24th August 2025An opportunity to explore the northeast of our club region with a walk in the Ashdown Forest, located between Uckfield, Tunbridge Wells and East Grinstead. The walk will roughly follow the route of Southern Comfort in Trail Magazine, though I will tweak it a little and I have certainly tweaked the start and end points as the parking in Nutley is not so great. https://explore.osmaps.com/route/515106/Trail-Magazine-Southern-comfort Following inspiration from some of the clumps earlier in the year we will meet in the large car park at Friend's Clump. Advance warning - there is a parking charge for the day though this does go to the forest maintenance. Meet at 09.30 for a 09.45 departure. The car park is large but you may wish to car share as this is a little way from the south coast. The walk could be up to 13 miles with approximately 1725 feet of ascent and great views. I may cut this down a little but it will likely take six hours with coffee and picnic lunch. This circuit combines woodland, ponds, streams and heathland with fine views. A World War Two memorial and an old windmill, reputed to have once stood at Crowborough or Goudhurst, or possibly both, add to the interest. Please let the organiser know if you wish to join us and if you need help co-ordinating lift sharing. |
