A Sunny Saturday in Sussex
Date 8 Aug 2007
WALK REPORT Pics from our trip to Bodiam Castle last Saturday. The weather was gorgeous and the food first class – so good that we couldn’t believe we’d spent two hours in the pub for lunch! Scroll down for the full-size photos with captions. [walk profile]
Bodiam Castle and the Darvells, July 15th
Date 19 Jul 2007
WALK REPORT Pics from Sunday’s trip to Bodiam. We were four this day – myself, Michelle, Jess, and Jonathan. In addition to visiting the castle, we watched a cricket match, saw some steam trains, had a picnic tea of vegan truffle chocolates (which melted in the hot sun but still were delicious thank you Jess), drank elderflower cordial on the terrace at the Salehurst Halt pub, and found some juicy wild plums to eat. But the discovery of the day was without doubt our encounter with the English Amish! 17 photos in this set – scroll down to see the larger images. [walk profile]
Lunch at The Curlew
Date 2 Jul 2007
WALK REPORT Seven of us braved the elements on Saturday to visit Bodiam Castle (aka the legendary “Swamp Castle” of Monty Python and the Holy Grail fame). We had lunch at The Curlew, a most excellent pub halfway along the route, and shot some pool at The Ostrich pub in Robertsbridge. [walk profile]
Bodiam Castle, May 18th
Date 19 May 2007
WALK REPORT Wow. Got home at 11pm, absolutely exhausted. This Bodiam Castle route will be a good one. Found a place that does cream teas, and a really sweet pub in the little village of Salehurst, which used to have a railway station but now is rather cut off from the rest of the world (which probably gives it some of its charm).
Here are some pics from my solo walk today. Did 17km, which is far longer than the route I’ll be taking guests on, but there were some details I had to check. Route today was Robertsbridge – Udiam – Bodiam – Peter’s Green – The Curlew – Salehurst – Robertsbridge. [walk profile]

If you need supplies for a picnic lunch in Robertsbridge, this is the place to come!

Bodiam Castle, May 11th
Date 10 May 2007
I’m doing another trial run of a walk tomorrow – this time the destination is Bodiam Castle.
I’ll be at London Bridge station tomorrow morning at 7:30am in time to catch the 7:47am train to Robertsbridge. Should be back in London about 5pm. Normally I’d run this walk a bit later but evening appointments mean an early start this time.
Drop me a line at david@englishcountrywalks.com if you want to come along, and I’ll send you all the details. Rain jacket required, for sure.
