Come and celebrate New Year's Day with a walk in Kent. This is a figure-of-8 walk around the lovely Shoreham Valley. It starts with a northern loop up to Lullingstone Park, before heading back to Shoreham for lunch. And in the afternoon the route heads down to Otford and back. Both loops have shorter versions (together these make up the Alternate Walk in the directions).
There are plentiful refreshment stops along the way, and the SWC tradition to bring something fizzy to toast the new year should ensure that no one is thirsty and all are merry. And if all this means that your progress round the route is slower than expected, well there are plenty of chances for an early finish along the way at Shoreham or Otford.
Best wishes to all for 2022!
Trains: 9:42 Blackfriars, 9:46 Elephant & Castle, 10:18 Bromley South, 10:39 Shoreham.
Return trains at xx:08, xx:38 (3 mins earlier at Otford).

N=20 w=mild_and_sunny A bright day for the start of the year after a gloomy December. Quite a modest amount of Fizz in the sun with a view down the valley helped us on our
way. There used to be five pubs in Shoreham but today with only one open it was too busy to serve us food without a wait of an hour. Some caught the train home whilst the sensible walkers with there own provisions went on to at least Otford and back round the loop to Shoreham. A fine day out.
