Overview

A lovely wander along Hergest Ridge with a few detours. On a good day we will have 360 degree views. Good paths, country lanes and well grazed open access land. A little mud likely and a few stalks possible. Ascents will be gradual but enough to get a good work out if that is what you fancy, but this is completely optional.
