Date: 10th September 2008
Time: 5:30pm
Diatance: 11km
Parking: at the pub
Pub: The Royal Oak

Close to home due to the shortening nights, please note the earlier start time.The organiser has told me to sell this walk with, “the scramble track”, “the clay pit” and “the brickworks”.

*** UPDATE ***

The brickworks is now a landfill sight…and it can stink
for miles around some days…thought it worth mentioning…so at least we’re
your warned…(went past the Oak a week or so ago and it whiffed a bit all
around the area)” Neal Zimmermann

We’re pressing on regardless, on the back of his successful Industrial Heritage Walks we can consider ourselves proud to be invited on Roy Carter’s first “Aromo-Trek”. And it gives us a unique opportunity to bag the Sussex Vegetable Big Five – can we identify the smell of rotting carrot, potato, swede, parsnip and cabbage?



Cowden Report

The Cowdenbury Tales by Geoffrey Chancer

The Carter’s Tale

Whilom ther was dwellynge at Crawley

A battered Audi, that gestes heeld to borde,

And of his craft he was an ITE,

To Cowden he walked in the feelde.

He roameth to the public house

His thirste therein he hoped to douse.

A buxom wench who serveth ale

Passeth bye on visit to the pail.

The Carter leant back on chaire that rocketh

To resteth his head, between her knockers.
