We are able to offer the following two walks this month led by Val Bentley in her local patch at Henfield.   These were planned for February, but had to be cancelled due to Covid restrictions.

 

Please note that the “rule of 6” applies, and hence the group will be limited to the leader plus 5 others, so places must be prebooked by contacting Val on chetsford@talk21.com or on 01273 494723

 

Other social distancing measures should also be followed, and there should be no sharing of optical equipment etc.

 

Wednesday 14th April: Henfield Downslink walk 1 (½ day)

A walk north along the old railway line and River Adur at Henfield.  Meet 9 am at the Downslink car park, Upper Station Road TQ205161 (immediately after The Old Railway pub, formerly The Cat & Canary). Particularly suitable for those new to birdwatching as we will be aiming to identify different birds by their song. Wellies recommended if it has been wet beforehand.  Approx 3 miles, level, no stiles.
