Leader: Grahame Hawker

Park in the Knepp Castle Estate’s walkers’ car park off Worthing Road (A24 access road), Dial Post, RH13 8NQ TQ157201, ///remains.icebergs.race (£5 donation suggested) and meet outside the shop, see https://knepp.co.uk. Join a members only group for all or part of the day on a walk of 2 to 4 miles. We hope to see Purple Emperors, White Storks, free roaming animals and a variety of plants and other wildlife. Otherwise explore on your own, maps available on the website. If you intend to come, please contact us by Wed 2nd July and let us know if you can offer lift(s) or would like one.

According to the Knepp newsletters they have record numbers of Purple Emperor larvae this year, which are expected to hatch in the last week of June, and the stork chicks are almost fully grown and should fledge soon. (If you sign up to their newsletter by 14th June you could win a three night glamping stay!).
