Penshurst loop
With Ivan out for house building work and myself needing to be home by 2-00pm it was only Trevor and myself that needed a leg stretch and so we stayed local and headed for the wonderful countryside around Penshurst.We set off along the Eden Valley trail and forked off to Chiddingstone Village. Turning north we would our way along paths, cris-crossing the River Eden several times before returning to Penshurst and the car.
It was a nice breezy day with sunshine in patches as the clouds passed over. It was only the last 5 mins that we hit a shower but being so close to the cars it wasn't worth getting the waterproofs out. Fortunately, by the time we had driven to the Fleur de Lys pub in Leigh for lunch we were fully dried out!
Stats for the day were...
