Start Point: British Wildlife Centre, A22 10m mins north
of East Grinstead
Walkers: (well, visitors!) Farty Fallover, Windy Nohills, Mrs Provincial
Weather: Typical English summer's day - sun and rain!
Time taken: around centre, 2 1/2 hours, pub, 2hrs, RSPCA Centre at South Godstone, about 45 mins
Distance: Not very far!
Pluses: Red squirrels, foxes, otters, deer, moles, owls including a beautiful European eagle owl, Scottish wildcat, stoats, weasels, hedgehogs, small furries of all sorts, adders, grass snakes (just as well Token Bloke couldn't make it!), etc etc. The lovely cats at the RSPCA.
Minuses: The rain and water skiers on the lake in front of us at the pub - and children at the Wildlife centre as it's only open during school holidays and weekends during term time. However, they were fortunately not too brat like!
Pub: The Wiremill (http://www.thewiremill.co.uk/) Good food, average pub prices, lovely old building with garden overlooking lake with water skiers - rather annoyingly noisy!
Special notes and links: http://www.britishwildlifecentre.co.uk/ £9 entry. A great day out!
