Will be there, weather permitting.
"mud is now drying out as the days lengthen" - Walker 27th Feb 2016
I should have sussed out there was going to be some major weather pattern changes when the Met Office started to name the storms coming in from the Atlantic. Anyhow suffice it to say there was a spot of bother with the river Rother which had become a veritable lake. In fact the whole of the Weald looked like a flood plain.
Anyhow n=5 on this walk with the weather w=slightly_overcast_with_a_brief_shower all made it to Burwash, had lunch and abandoned the walk.
I've never seen it so wet in that neck of the woods!
Apparently, Ladbrokes are no longer taking bets on when the next hosepipe ban will be brought in.
