Henfold - The Haven - Denbies
Appropriately the day started sombrely with a tablecloth limply draped over
Leith Hill. Due to hostelling defections, just eleven headed south from Henfold;
it should have been 12 but JB cast up in Rusper rather than Rudgwick though how
he couldn’t recall. Factoring in a feisty wind, Weare Street, OkewoodHill and
Ellens Green got us to lunch at the Blue Ship at the early hour of 12.30. This
pub boasts “reduced beer prices of £3.75”! In a room specially set aside,
opinions were divided on the great sandwich/meal debate with the Editor once
more abstaining.
After a leisurely lunch, we headed further south to the A29 and a lengthier route back. Finally we had the wind and a warming sun; speeds soared as we went through Slinford, Broadbridge Heath and up the long drag beyond Warnham station. The race was now on for Denbies where JB rejoined and the first 10% group discount voucher was spent; more staff than punters or so it seemed. 72 miles door to door.
