On Sunday our walk began in Bolney Village. Setting off from the top of The Street, a 13-strong group walked northwards across Wykehurst Park with views of the mansion in the distance. Thanks to the recent spell of warm weather the path was dry and hard underfoot, a pleasant change from our last attempt at this route which had been rendered impassable in places owing to deep mud. We did have to negotiate a boggy patch, surprisingly wet despite the recent sunny weather, and continued through woodland and over fields to reach Jeremy’s Lane. Spring was in full flower and the ground was covered with a tapestry of wild flowers – violets, anemones, primroses and celandines, with bluebells just starting to show a haze of blue. We turned left and then right into Colwood Lane. After a short distance we turned off the lane to cross the fields in the direction of Warninglid, where we stopped in the sunshine for our coffee break. Entertainment was provided by some adorable lambs frolicking in the field. From there we turned back southwards through Rout Farm, then headed back to Bolney through Nailard’s Wood. Despite a discouraging forecast the weather stayed dry and all enjoyed seeing the Sussex countryside looking its springtime best. The walk was led by Anne.
