THIS SATURDAY [7TH]!
Following last Saturday’s Buchan Country Park Bus-Walk, a Car-Walk is planned this Saturday to the Knepp Rewilding Estate [‘Celebration of countryside protection and restoration’, WSCT, Aug 29].
Meeting outside the Plough in Ifield at 11am on Sept 7, it is hoped enough cars will be available to take walkers to Knepp for a arrival time just before midday – the CPRE Sussex event will end at 4pm.
If anyone has a spare seat in their car, this would be most welcome.
Admission charge at the Knepp Estate is £5 – with a voluntary contribution for car parking.
All welcome – including dogs.
