Welcome to "Reggie's Records". This area is intended to impart a flavour of the various places we walk in and the people who walk with us, nothing is intended to be taken too seriously.

Please click on the small photo to access the slide show which now runs without any intervention from you, other than clicking on the back button, (the left facing arrow at the top of your screen),when the slide show comes to an end.

If you would like to download the pictures in the slideshow, I have added another page with downloadable versions of the current photos. Go to the links page and click on the first item in the list.



Nine started and seven finished Janet's walk from Guestling church today, unfortunately two of us could only find time to complete the Guestling to Westfield leg in the morning but I am sure that the afternoon session was as good as the mornings. Harvest time is upon us and all around there was evidence of farmers making the most of the short spell of dry and sunny weather. Janet celebrated the time of year with a reading of "Fields of Gold" during the morning's refreshment break. It was Flower Festival time at Guestling and I am sure some of our number will have taken the opportunity to have a look round upon their return. 16/08/08



Eight people were out on Richard's most informative walk around Brightling and the "Fuller Follies". A particular welcome to John who hadn't been out with us before, and nice to see Mick again who hasn't been out for a while. We were fortunate enough to spot two pairs of buzzards over the Brightling Park estate, an uncommon experience in this part of the world. We experienced a couple of short sharp showers but they were insufficient to spoil a very good walk. 20/08/08



Thirteen was not unlucky today, unless you count the less than perfect weather. This was the number of people who enjoyed Mike's interesting and highly informative walk from Playden today. A great shame that the really splendid views were not bathed in brilliant sunshine, but there you are we're Ramblers and have really vivid imaginations so we got the picture just the same. The lunch stop would have been brilliant in good weather but to have the barn as a standby was a stroke of genius! Thanks for that Mike, can't wait for the next one. 24/08/08



We almost needed the torches at the conclusion of Julia and Con's walk this evening, but a swift pace and the briefest of refreshment stops meant that there was just about enough light at the end to ensure that nobody took a wrong turn or fell into a pothole. Eight people enjoyed this last evening walk of 2008. Even though it was the third walk in this area within six weeks, Julia and Con managed to ring the changes in order that we trod some fresh ground, but I think we have seen enough of Guestling church for a while. 27/08/08



Despite not enjoying the best of conditions, (we felt a little short changed after the glorious day yesterday), the thirteen people on Lionel and Rita's walk today had a pretty good time just the same. It is always encouraging that no matter what the weather throws at us we always find something to laugh at and this was very much the case today, even sitting on the grass eating our lunch in the rain was amusing, thanks mainly to Evelyn's umbrella. 31/08/08



Thirteen people, plus Milo the Jack Russell, maintained that they enjoyed Elsie's "10!!!" mile walk today. A little bit of over enthusiasm in the talking department meant that a vital turn off was missed and some pretty desperate map reading and head scratching ensued. A committee comprising Con, Julia and Elsie eventually extricated us from our dilemma but not before an additional two miles was added to the walks length. Nevertheless the weather was kind, (it didn't actually rain), we had an excellent spot for lunch and we learnt all you ever need to know about the species of heather to be found on Ashdown Forest. Joking apart, good stuff Elsie. 07/09/08
