SUMMARY:East Grinstead now Not So Circular
DESCRIPTION:This is a stroll of about 8 miles into some interesting countryside around East Grinstead. Some small hills but nothing too taxing\, and we’ll fit in a pub call. \nUpdate 9th September  \nAs the heat seems about to continue\, I’ve looked at ways to reduce our exposure on tomorrow’s walk. The one I planned had lots of open country and it occurs to me it would be foolish to expose ourselves that much. \nSo I’ve devised an alternative route that is almost all in shade. Thanks to the late unlamented Dr Beeching the railway line between East Grinstead and Three Bridges is defunct\, and most of it is now a delightfully shaded footpath. \nThis does mean we no longer have a circular route\, and unfortunately you’ll need to buy two separate rail tickets – one to East Grinstead and one back from Three Bridges. Alternatively\, turn back at the halfway point (around Crawley Down). \nThe walk is still 8 miles and has even fewer hills (trains don’t like them). \nNo change to meeting arrangements: \nMeet at East Croydon Station at 10.25\, in time for the 10.39 to East Grinstead (usually platform 6) – or join the train at Sanderstead (10:44) or Riddlesdown (10:47). Arriving East Grinstead at 11.19. \nI’m sure I don’t need to remind seasoned COPSErs about the importance of water\, sunscreen\, hats etc – be careful out there! \nPS \nI’ve failed to find a pub on the way (the one in Crawley Down seems to have encountered its own Beeching Effect) but there is a small Co-op in Crawley Down if you need ready access to drinks and snacks. \n

SUMMARY:Walking Treasure Hunt -  Box Hill\, Dorking
DESCRIPTION:St Matthew’s Redhill is organising a Walking Treasure Hunt on Saturday 30th September\, along similar lines to the Weald Walkers Wander. The plan is to have a relatively easy morning session\, geared towards families and children\, but in which everyone can take part\, ending with a pub lunch at ‘The Stepping Stones’ pub next to Boxhill and Westhumble Station. The more seasoned walkers will then have an afternoon route to follow which will be more challenging\, both in terms of clues and the route itself.  \nThe walk is 5 miles in total\, 2.5 miles in the morning and 2.5 miles in the afternoon. The cost to enter is £1 per person. The maximum number of people in a team is 5.  The Stepping Stones pub is serving barbecue/street food/sandwiches and there is no need to book lunch in advance\, see: The Stepping Stones Pub Dorking\, Box Hill & Westhumble (steppingstonesdorking.co.uk). \nThe start is Rykas Cafe\, Box Hill at 09:45\, which has plenty car parking\, see:  Home | Rykas.  \nHowever\, there is going to be a rail strike on Saturday 30 September.  There is no limit to the number of teams COPSE can enter\, but we will need to know final numbers by Friday 29 September at the latest.
