Walkers beat the clock
Fourteen walkers embarked on their journey from the Red Lion in Bletchingley on October 31 at the unwonted hour of 1pm – which followed the reversion of clocks to GMT the previous Saturday night. Calculations indicated we needed to be back at the said Red Lion by 4.30pm in order to avoid benightment, and a brisk pace was set as the group, who included four women, headed south through woods and then across farmland, following the line of the Greensand Way.
