Greenwich Meridian Trail leg 4 - GMT 4

Wych Cross to Lingfield

This was not an inspiring leg of the trail. Nothing particularly wrong but no "oohh factors". Sure it took us through various bits of countryside plus the town of East Grinstead but at no point were we looking at wonderful sights or decent countryside. However, it was a warm dry day with hazy sunshine so we were exercising on not a bad day.

Being an end-to-end walk we had to again use two cars and met up at Lingfield before leaving one car there and driving back to the car park just outside of Wych cross where we ended the walk last time.

East Grinstead fell almost exactly at the halfway point of the walk and was the only place to stop for lunch. Plenty of pubs here so we chose "The Crown" and it served us well with lunch and beer. Having another 5 miles to go AFTER lunch is not a favourite pastime of ours but needs be as needs must and we plodded on. At least we had no big hills to climb!
