In spite of mud and bog warnings and heavy rain for the past 24 hours, ten Poly Ramblers still turned up at Gerrards Cross on Saturday morning in sunshine punctuated by heavy showers. We crossed the common, passing some impressive properties (including one that Andew remembered visiting), and paused to view an Iron Age hill fort, not much to look at, I admit.

CHIPSTEAD CIRCULAR – 28 DECEMBER
Saturday’s walk was completed under leaden skies with little or no sign of the sun, but thankfully it remained dry. Twenty Poly Ramblers convened at Chipstead station, most looking to walk off the excesses of the previous few days. We walked downhill past the parade of shops in the village and passed a coffee shop /wine bar which Stuart and Lorna had already discovered. We were invited by the owner to return for lunch or afternoon tea. Continue reading CHIPSTEAD CIRCULAR – 28 DECEMBER

CLUB XMAS LUNCH AND WALK – 15 DECEMBER

Sadly, our leader was unable to join us due to a painful foot, but she provided instructions and information on the bridges and Illuminated River and sent us on our way.
