15 gathered at Holmwood Station, and were joined by 3 others later on in the pub, so #18 on a day of #sunshine_and_cloud_very_warm. Easy walking through woods and fields. We saw a field covered in what someone confirmed was Marl. Encountered a herd of docile cows and calves in a field. Unfortunately in a later field encountered very agitated cows, which meant we had to backtrack and went through a wood and road to get to the pub. About 15 ate in the Plough and then into Reigate for tea and cakes. 9 on the 17.02 train.
#1 from original 15 did an extension Reigate to Kingswood knowing in a month walks will naturally shorten. A rather long extension and 18:52 train via the pub (walking distance from the platform) back to London.
