Overview

We will start the walk at 9:45 via Bones Lane between Crowsley Park Wood and Bones Wood and then through farmland towards the outskirts of Rotherfield Greys. From there we join the Pack and Prime route through to Henley town centre, where we will have the opportunity for a short stop for elevenses at one of the many cafes in the market square, or at the cafe by the Bandstand adjacent to the river (time/weather dependent). From here we follow the Thames Path a short way before turning and heading towards Harpsden with the option to pop into St Margaret's of Antioch Harpsden Cum Bolney Church (toilet available to use) we will then head up through Harpsden Wood and High Wood back to the Bottle & Glass, where a table has been booked in The Barn for lunch at 13:15 for those that would like to join us.

There are a few inclines and four stiles and if we've had heavy rain it is likely to be muddy in places.
