Penshurst to Chiddingstone loop

Penshurst - Chiddingstone - Chiddingstone Causeway - Penshurst

This was a lovely bright spring day but with just a little sting in the tail from the breeze. Ivan couldn't walk (some would say he doesn't do that anyway!) so Trevor and I decided to stay local especially as I had to be home by 3-00pm for another duty.

We had walked some of the paths before but even Trevor who was on his own stomping ground was delighted to find he was walking on "new ground". The plan was to complete the 7.8 mile loop; get back to the car then drive a short distance to whichever local pub we felt like. So that's what we did and ended up at the Fleur de Lis pub in Leigh for lunch.

This was a great walk on a beautiful day and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
