First off, apologies to those on last week's walk when I flagged Tuesday for this week's evening walk -- I adjusted my weekend schedule and Thursday proved more convenient after all. This short walk follows an undulating route through
several mostly ancient woodlands with a rich variety of plants and trees, up
the southerly flank of Shooter’s Hill, past a large south facing meadow
with far views across Southeast London and on through more woods past remnants
of a stately home’s gardens to the architecturally interesting folly of Severndroog
Castle. Along the way, we should hopefully find wood anemones and bluebells!

information about the route can be found here.
Enjoy the walk!

Sensibly, no one else emerged from the appointed train with your loyal correspondent who spent a few minutes in w=persistent-rain outside the station contemplating doing all or part of the walk. Eventually, she wisely decided to take the next train back to Blackheath for a look around, then pleasant meal before walking home across the common-- so n=0 on a total washout....
