MEET FULL: awaiting clarification re new government regulations restricting gatherings to 6.
We will be staying at Hever Camping, Wilderness Farm Markbeech, not far from Hever and Chiddingstone Castles in the High Weald area of Kent. The cost is £20 per person for the two nights. There are plenty of paths in the area, and UKclimbing does list some crags, but they may not be to everyone’s taste!

The campsite is an easy 2.2 km walk from Cowden Station down country lanes, with a train every hour from London Bridge on Friday £14.20, Sunday return to Victoria every hour £10.
Pub option: Kentish Horse, Markbeech http://www.kentishhorsemarkbeech.co.uk/
IMPORTANT INFORMATION, INCLUDING COVID 19: PLEASE READ
If coming by public transport you need to come packed and prepared to walk to the campsites. We can leave the tents up until we leave so no need to carry everything around all day Sunday! It is your responsibility to follow the government advice re use of public transport.
The campsite allows campfires, sells wood and provides fire-pits (although advises bringing kindling), so evenings by the fire are an option. For those that prefer the pub nearby options are listed, but it will be up to you to make any booking and comply with the relevant regulations.
During the trip you agree to follow government guidelines regarding social distancing at all times.
Walking groups will be restricted to a maximum of 6 so please do use the club’s subscription to OS maps to plan your weekend activities, record a route, and step forward to lead a walk. https://osmaps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/
