About the event
In advance of Winnie the Pooh's centenary next year, join Anne from Mid-Sussex Ramblers on this walk in our favourite bear's footsteps. We walk down through the forest to the pretty village of Hartfield, exploring Five Hundred Acre Wood, visiting the AA Milne memorial and of course...over Pooh Bridge for Pooh Sticks.
The nature of the landscape provides incredible views but also means it's quite hilly. For the Pooh fans, you're welcome to bring your favourite quote from Winnie the Pooh to share. Small bears welcome. No performances required.

Walk duration: 4.5 hrs
