Walk Report

Thanks to Alan Perry for a different-from-usual walk.

Cool green shade and tranquillity along the Basingstoke canal, the rare pleasure of a pint of Horsell Gold after lunch, waiting to cross the runway just after a plane took off, and the heather and huge horizons of Chobham Common.

Words by Nicholas Lawrence.
