Chipstead Circular – Saturday 11 April

Thirteen Poly Ramblers met at Chipstead Station for a short walk around magical Banstead Woods. After a short climb we saw Narnia sculptures of Lucy Pevensie by the Lamppost , a bit further along was Aslan the Lion, the White Witch and the Wardrobe. The wood was covered with English bluebells that were at its best, pity
Jennifer was unable to join us after perfect planning.

We made our way towards Stagbury Downs and onwards to Shabden Park. We had a picnic with views of Long Plantation in the distance. We made our way back to Chipstead station after tackling couple of tricky slopes and fallen trees. Most of us decided to end the day by having tea or coffee at a very pleasant café where they
roasted their own coffee beans from India; that surprised me.
