Sounds too complicated to me Peter and far too early! Have you asked anyone about a shared lift? Annie

It used to be possible to catch a No. 40 bus from Brighton to Hassocks Stone Pound and walk to the Adastra Hall before the 10:00am start time. I have searched every bus timetable and there is not a single bus leaving Brighton that arrives at Haywards Heath before 10:00 am. BUT..... There is a way..... >From Brighton catch No. 29 Tunbridge Wells bus, leaving Brighton Churchill Square at 05:52am, arriving at Tunbridge Wells station at 07:15am (be aware that the 29 is limited stop as far as Falmer). >From Tunbridge Wells station (Stop U) take the No. 291 Crawley bus, leaving T. Wells at 07:29am. Get off at East Grinstead War Memorial (Stop J), arriving at 08:11am. (It is also possible to change at Forest Row (o/s Brambletye) if the 291 is late, but Metrobus services generally keep good time). >From East Grinstead War Memorial (Stop H) take the No. 270 Brighton bus, leaving at 08:23am. This passes through Forest Row (opposite Brambletye) at 08:32am and continues via Lindfield and Haywards Heath to Brighton. Get off at the "Lindfield Adj West Common Drive" stop, arriving at 09:00am. From the nearby mini-roundabout walk down Appledore Gardens and Oathall Community College is just past the end of this road. I'm tempted to try this myself because the connections are good, but not too tight, and should work smoothly. The Brighton & Hove route No. 29 buses normally keep good time on Saturday mornings. .Peter Hodge.
