N=25, W=sunny, Despite only 7 Deg C it felt warm in the sun with clear blue skies. Muddy in places through the orchards but not too bad. Six walkers stopped at the Swan for lunch and a further 13 ate at the Black Horse. Both reported good food and efficient service. After lunch walkers took various routes and extensions back to the station. Looking back towards Pluckley with low angle of the afternoon sun was magical. A good start to the Saturday Walking year.
