Lurgashall Morning Walk 1st November 2017

Jean led us from the village green in Lurgashall along tracks and fields through the Sussex countryside. We were a large group but fortunately finished up with the same number at the end. We were all a little puzzled by the glamping field at Mill Barn Farm but it can now be revealed - to find out more, go to www.millfarm-lurgashall.com 

We passed fields full of new plants sprouting leaves. Apparently they were probably turnip, grown as a feed crop for sheep in the early part of next year, supposedly  three acres can feed 100 sheep for a month. Any gardeners with a 1/2 acre to spare may well wish to dig up the lawn and fatten 16 sheep for Easter!  The Noahs Ark couldn't cope with us and we were very pleased to be directed to The  Hollist Arms in Lodsworth who looked after us splendidly. The walk was about 5 miles, with a mere 130 feet of height gained.

Nice carving, shame about the spelling...
