Walk Report 1st November
The countryside was shrouded in fog first thing on Sunday
morning, visibility at its worst which might explain the small turnout of
walkers. As luck would have it by 10:00 the fog lifted and the sun shone,
in fact a perfect autumnal day.
The 6 1/2 mile walk began in the hamlet of Friday Street on
the gentle lower north slope of Leith Hill. Heading off towards
Coldharbour taking in water meadows, sandy tracks and mature woodland.
Spurred on by the promise of superb views and coffee ... probably coffee being
the main incentive we climbed uphill to Leith Hill Tower, it was well
worth the effort!
With the hilly section of the walk behind us the route led
us back to the starting point via Abinger Bottom and finally, The Stefan
Langton pub where a few of us stopped for lunch.
