| Five SABRE members and a VW Passat started out from Redhill at 9.45 and returned at 6.30pm. On the way round Sussex, we took in Hartfield (Winnie-The-Pooh country), Ashdown Forest, Lewes, Brighton Bypass, Shoreham Elevated Junction, Ditchling Beacon, Washington (Sussex!!), and then a quick buzz back up the A24, A264, & A23 back to Redhill.
More a scenic tour than a road trip, but very enjoyable... |

At the viewpoint there is a tribute to the authors of the original Winnie-The-Pooh books. The lovely wording alone deserves a photo in this album 800x600 SRT_10_-_A_A_Milne_Plaque_-_Ashdown_Forest.jpg |
