Please arrive by car, train or bus at Pulborough railway station well before 10.00 a.m. for a morning walk of c.6 miles across the Wealden strata towards the Gap at the ridge village of Amberley, (lunch at the village tearooms as pub has recently closed), where members may leave or join the group, before the same mileage walk in the afternoon through the Gap to the historic town of Arundel, via a deeply-incised dry-valley system, arriving in time for tea about 4.00 p.m. Train service returns you to Pulborough for your vehicle.
