Shipbourne loop again

Shipbourne Hadlow loop

Its nearing Christmas and the end of the year and we are getting lazy ! Well no one could think of a better walk and as Ivan wasn't with us when we walked it a few months ago we decided on a re-run. This walk was done in sunshine last time and so it was again today albeit it sun through high cloud with a sharp northerly wind. But still a great winter walk day.

Probably the only change to last time was that it being the run up to Christmas our watering hole, The Kentish Rifelman, was bustling by 12-30 and we had one of the last tables before diners were being turned away!

Starting out from Shipbourne Church

Wonderful winter sun across the Weald
