Very good day for this walk, with extremely fine views of London Town below from the various viewpoints. We stuck broadly to the GPX route but managed to get ourselves locked in to the Kenwood House fenced area (walking too slowly, clearly), so had to climb over a spiky metal fence, else all went fine. Reached the Holly Bush pub just before 9 o'clock. Everyone stayed for at least one drink.
