Overview

Near-repeat of a walk led in August 2024 but colder and with some minor improvements. Mostly open fields, with some woods for variety. Morning heading SSW via Downe to Aperfield, then NE to Single Street and Cudham for lunch stop, where there are toilets, benches and a pub for a quick drink (bring a picnic as pub lunch would be too lengthy). Afternoon shorter, back via Snag Farm and the High Elms estate.
