3 met at Robertsbridge station, and found we were following the downloaded gps route, as the instructions said. I was using my paper map.
It was a beautiful Weald walk, with good, although overcast weather, until the last hour when it rained a little. We walked the last hour in the dark, and was very slippery.
We had arrived at the Castle Inn, in Bodium for lunch at 2.31 and they could not serve us food as were busy. We went back to the National Trust cafe, and they stop serving food at 2.30,so we all had a cream tea
We arrived in Robertsbridge station at 17.15,so just missed the train.
I enjoyed two pints of Harveys best in the Ostrich.
We counted up the miles and it was 13 miles.
Note: The Ostrich, closes at 6pm on a Sunday, presumably in the winter. They serve a roast until 4pm.
We somehow missed the 8.7 mile version of the walk.
