Amberley - North stoke - The Burgh - Amberley
6.5. miles
The plan today was to
go to Holmwood in Surrey and walk part of the Greensand Way despite the fact
that we were nursing headaches. Yesterday was the Crawley Folk Festival and the
beer tent sold some very excellent cider which we drank with many friends that
we haven't seen for ages. However, despite the hangovers and despite being sold the
train tickets to
the neighbouring county, there were in fact NO trains to Holmwood on a Sunday!
Finding
ourselves at Horsham with no way to carry out our plans, we set ourselves to
default and went to Amberley instead.
We had great views of at least two peregrine falcons today and each time they
passed by they sent up huge flocks of rooks.

This time we went UP the steps of insanity. The hangover cure!
