A quick jaunt around the Medway Valley

Tonbridge - Five Oak Green loop

It was not a good day weather wise. Rain all morning but the forecast said it should all pass by 1-00pm. So with Ivan still parading his "Budgy Smugglers" along the beaches of Turkey Trevor and myself did the sensible thing and met up in the "Humphrey Bean" in Tonbridge to wait for the rain to pass.

This meant we were under time pressure so needed a local walk and the very pretty Medway River Valley worked perfectly for us. And after the ups & downs of last weeks walk this one was relatively flat - although I did remind Trevor that the walk back to Tonbridge against the flow of the river would all be "uphill" !

It remained sultry and humid all afternoon but at least we got a leg stretch in.
