Despite prior prophecies of doom and gloom, Knole Park was delightful and while there was some mud on the afternoon section, it was no more than one gets on any other walk at this time of year. Perhaps the most astonishing feature of the walk was that such a large group stuck together virtually throughout (which dare I say was nothing to do with mud). We all lunched at Ightam Mote, the designated lunch stop, and all left together. All 14 stopped for tea at Knole House and again left together Only on leaving the park did we split with 7 following the morning route back to Sevenoaks station, while the other 7 walked via the town (and presumably the pub). My group of 7 took the 3.59 train back to the big smoke.

We all ate or picnicked at Ightham Mote, which with the poor weather forecast wasn't too busy for half term week. Remarkably we all set off as a group, and even more so, all had tea at Knole Park. This couldn't continue, so we diverged on the route back to the station. w=cloud_with_some_slight_drizzle.PeteGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07558203384025520242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665817.post-48253003827896793312020-02-18T14:55:17.613+00:002020-02-18T14:55:17.613+00:00The NT website says 5pm,however rain may speed us ...The NT website says 5pm,however rain may speed us to the train!

So, Knole park is the best bit as far as that is concerned. welly boots are the best option. <br />Sorry might be criticised for putting people off, although there is not that much not covered in mud in any case.
