Update 14/1/17:
*** Trains: All should be running as timetabled. Only an hourly train out of Banstead but all being well we will make the 1738 to Victoria. There is an alternative station at Coulsdon South, approx 16 miles, for anyone who needs an earlier finish.
*** Sights: Include one of the great London views from the Addington Hills, Selsdon Wood, Happy Valley and Farthing Down, plus the back end of High Down Prison, which we will almost certainly pass in near-darkness.
*** Kit: please bring a torch, but you are advised not to lend to anyone wearing HMP overalls, just in case you never see it again.
*** Lunch: There is a pub about 12 miles in, where we may pay a short visit if we are making reasonable time, but it might be a good idea to have a sandwich as well as the usual water etc. just in case.
