#5 set out on a #hot-and-sunny day to enjoy a favourite walk. It did not disappoint. An excellent lunch was enjoyed by 3 at the Unicorn with a fourth joining for a pint. The fifth speeded ahead to get home earlier. The abundance of the blackberries was sufficient to entice the bus driver at the Unicorn to get out and start picking. Other hedgerow fruits were at their best and a few sloes may have made their way back to London. The written instructions led to some confusion near the King Charles Head and there is one part of the GPS route that is blocked but there is an alternative path through a field with horses. A hot thirsty day out but summer isn’t quite over yet.

Thank you for your walk report, Alice.

It's on my "to do" list to update / correct the written directions just before and after the King Charles Head point on the walk.
