Why?
IFIELD TO DORKING VIA LAMBS GREEN, RUSPER, NEWDIGATE AND HOLMWOOD COMMON Good question. Last week, I'd said I was going to do hills and so I'm perplexed at my last minute path selection. Very happy though to have received some new boots in time and maybe this swayed my decision to persist with the Wealden clay. It was quite last minute planning and a number of unlucky diversions and poor decisions did their level best to lower my mood. I think, on the whole, I overcame. I can't, in all honesty, recommend this route but there were areas that were outstanding against a backdrop of muddy paths, unpleasant farms and falling over. The seasons change though and with a little path variation, this might be a different kind of walk. This is, after all, the beauty a trudging an area again. Ifield can be reached in as little as 40 minutes with a change of trains at Gatwick or to Three Bridges and a bus. It's best to work this out in advance if you are to avoid making timely mistak...
