We did this short version of the Shoreham figure-of-eight walk as an
evening walk last year at this time and it worked quite nicely….an easy journey
from London to enjoy the evening in some lovely gentle undulating
countryside….with a splash of purple ….The walk route passes by the usually
very impressive lavender field at Castle Farm which
should be in good bloom now…
Unfortunately, most of the pubs in Shoreham stop serving evening food
rather early (usually about 8:30pm) – but we should be able to at least find a
drink and some crisps at the end of the walk in one of the 4 pubs or the
vineyard in the village….Also, the vineyard does do pizza and sharing platters
until about 9pm…..so we may be able to make it there in time….
More information about the route can be found here
Enjoy the walk!

My inbound train has been canceled, so will miss appointed train. Please start without me and I will hopefully find you somewhere along the route...
9 assembled at Shoreham station with the arrival of the appointed train and set-off on the route in a clockwise direction on a w=perfect-evening. They met up with number n=10 near the Castle Farm lavender fields which were looking fab -- lovely deep purple....really a most stunning sight...After admiring the lavender,we carried on to Shoreham where the pubs and vineyard had stopped serving food. So, we settled on enjoying the evening with drinks and crisps on the patio of the completely renovated and renamed George...the something Palmer...before most caught the 9.45pm train back to London.
