Saturday 9th August – Day walk at Ockley, Forest Green & Leith Hill

Chris has arranged this walk which begins off the A29 in Ockley. If there is no cricket in progress, park in School Lane, W3W  woods.upon.crank, postcode RH5 5TR, grid ref  TQ146399, opposite the cricket pavilion or the school. Otherwise, there are spaces opposite the Inn on the Green and some spaces in the close by the Cricketers Arms.  O S Explorer no 146.

Bring a picnic. After the walk we can repair to the Cricketers or the Inn on the Green, which are close to our parking area.

The walk, of about 8 miles, is from Ockley via Forest Green and Birketts Farm to Leith Hill Wood and then to the top of Leith Hill returning to Ockley via Hartshurst Farm. Should the weather be unduly hot or wet, the walk can easily be shortened to 7 miles, avoiding the Leith Hill summit. Ascent is 250m (or 180m).

Lunch at top of Leith Hill (8m) or Leith Hill Wood picnic area (7m).
