forested canopy of the Undercliff walk, and rides on the Heritage Seaton

Is Friday's walk another half-day one from Axo Station, like last year, or does one have to arrive the night before? (asking for a friend)
Hi I haven't heard of anyone going on this weekend yet, are people going?
Yes a fair few, I think. Last year there were about 20 of us
Yes Thomas, the Friday walk will be from Axminster station to Lyme via the Pineteum. People can take the bus from the station to Lyme if preferred. Bus times tbc.
Thanks Branchline, looking forward to the trip!
