Did anyone else do this walk? I got an earlier train so was a half hour ahead and thought that the group would catch me up as I'm quite a slow walker, but I didn't see anyone else. It was a bit damp underfoot, and the hailstorm was a little bit trying, but there was also plenty of glorious sunshine - at one point at the same time as rain and made the cascade of raindrops glitter as it came down through bright sunlight in the woods. This really is a super walk. Lots of variety, stupendous views and the bluebells are coming along nicely - noticeably more out than only two days ago. I enjoyed it so much, I'm going to do it again next week!
PS I saw what appeared to be an albino white deer in a small group of other ordinary brown deer. I've never seen such a thing before - has anyone else seen this?
Glad you enjoyed the walk. You do sometimes get albino deer - hence all the pubs called The White Hart. I saw one once near Cowden. Could even be the same one...
Just n=2 on this walk and we had just left Knole Park when we were got drenched in a torrential hail/wind storm and we staggered to a nearby cafe packed with many families and young children who had escaped there after abandoning their Easter egg hunt. Warmed by a hot drink we slowly dried off but our enthusiasm for continuing the walk had diminished and with the weather outlook uncertain we decided to improvise a route around Knole Park and thence back to Sevenoaks
