South Midweek Walk 2021 - Pulborough Gallop Circular
7 people attending
7 places left
Join Justin and Matt for a circular 4.8 mile walk starting from the station, we will head North through the gallops towards Codmore Hill, cutting across the A29, walking over the Railway Line (Health & Safety) and crossing the highest point of Broomers Hill, then walking down on footpaths to the Lower Street.
From here, we walk along Lower Street and then on smaller roads/paths back to the Station (approx 1.5 miles).
The event will close at 18.00 on the day of the walk and you will be unable to register or take yourself off the event after this time.
If covid possible and agreeable to the group, we can stop at the White Horse Inn with it's large garden for refreshment when we hit Lower Street (at just over 3 miles). We can stay long enough for people to eat as required. If you manage to eat before the walk or just just have a drink that good, and if you bring a packed meal please do not eat in the beer garden as this can lead to embarassing situations with the pub landlord.

Food & drink
Bring something to snack on to keep you going if necessary. Due to Covid restrictions we have to assume we will not be able to get an outside table for a drink and food but never say never.
If we can we will try to visit the White Horse http://www.white-horse-pullborough.co.uk/
(note the spelling mistake).
If you do not want to eat, then bring your own but be aware we are planning to stop at this pub, and it might be better to eat your food outside the pub garden then join us to avoid embarrassment. Bring any snacks you might need to keep you going until we stop at the pub.
