Poised on this edge, flush with the fruits of our labour, we might glimpse the potential for all that can be. Past and future press close as lovers in a moment of perfect balance. Then, a blustery gust returns us to motion, reminds us to step through the doorway and back into the dance of life and death, growth and loss, day and night once more. From 'The Doorway' by Keli Tomlin 2017

DIRECTIONS TO LOWER VERT WOODS – NORTHERN ACCESS ALONG VERT LANE
1. Directions – from Lewes and Brighton - essentially you aim for Laughton village (near Ringmer and Lewes) and drive through in an Easterly direction. Go through village past Post Office and then left at the first crossroads into Park Lane. Carry on for c.1 mile past the small industrial estate (if it is on your right) and wooden house on left. Go past the Estate and head up Park Lane for further 1/2 mile to a metal gate-barrier on the right. You’ll see a parking area, some concrete blocks and single lane track off on the right.You'll see Full Moon directions here. The gate will be unlocked though it will look closed.This is Vert Lane. Open the gate and make sure you pull the gate closed behind you.
Drive slowly up the track past 2 gates on the right to a third gate and a chip stack. Park here by reversing carefully in close to other vehicles. Don't go straying off on slopes - you might get stuck.. Walk through third gate (directions again) and south down the track. Walk down to the crossroads. Go straight ahead and you’ll see a wooden sticks signpost on the right marking the path to the main camp area. There will be lights showing the way. It's a 10 mins walk and be careful as it will be a little slippy in places.
Bring your heart and willingness to connect to the spirit, Nature and our lovely Moon.
