Three of us took the alternative route at the end and got slightly lost. We left one chap on a hillside to fly his drone that he apparently carried with him in his rucksack. Two of us found our way back to Buxted with plenty of time for refreshments. Sarah
N=15 off the train on a delightful sunny day. Plenty of mud. Good service at lunch & not crowded despite the website saying full. The afternoon has the best views & around 8 of us got the 1637 with 5 minutes to spare, without rushing.
