swcwalks, swcwalk 272, Uckfield to Lewes. 1/5/19.amib, May-19
This was another 13 mile Wealden Wonder! After the first 3/4 of a mile of road walking was eliminated.
Straight after, there was a Fox meandering across a field and this set the theme for the day. This was a walk of rural tranquility and one for those enjoying being far form the madding crowd. There were pastures, fields, rivers and woods, with bird-song all the way, and even a Nightingale (this walker believes). Then, as a contrasting finale, there was a South Downs saunter.
An excellent day's walking, but only if done at the right time of year, as it's suspect to either heavy vegetation, or, possible flooding. A good time to go would be after the clocks go forward, to allow sufficient daylight, until early May, to avoid the vegetation.
