Walk Report
13 walkers, 22 miles - leader Jude UnsworthThe Sevenoaks Saunter was a joy to lead as the area is beautiful, the sun was out and the 13 people who came along were lovely.
The walk was just under 22 miles, there was a last minute change to a section that avoided work on Gracious Lane bridge. We skirted on the edge of Knole Park before passing Igtham Mote for a group photo opportunity. Walking towards Shipbourne Church we heard wedding bells, stopped for a quick tea break in the churchyard while the bride was then coming up the path.
Walked along some of the Greensand Way which led us to a perfect picnic spot for lunch with a distant view of Bough Beech Reservoir. A few of us had a refreshing ice cream/lolly at Ide Hill while others had a swift but refreshing pint at the pub. The last part of the walk took us through Dry Hill, the edge of the Montreal Estate and wheat fields back in to Sevenoaks.
