Overview

A very hilly route through the Lydden & Temple Ewell nature reserve to Kearsney.  Then another climb up to St Radigunds Abbey, before descending into Alkham for a picnic lunch and possible pub stop for drinks.  More hills on the way back through Ewell Minnis.  Quite hard work, but magnificent views.
