Overview

From Ide Hill, we go south towards Bough Beech before going west towards Henden Manor.  Then it's north at Crockham Grange and a climb up to lunch at Crockham Hill.  Lunch will be either at the Royal Oak or a picnic in the little garden by the school or the even smaller one on the main road by the pub.  About 6 miles and 300 feet of ascent.

After lunch, we retrace our steps for a while and at Obriss Farm head north towards Toy's Hill.  Then it's past Scords Farm and up the Greensand Way back to the start.  About 5 miles and 400 feet of ascent.

The walk this week is on a Thursday because the Royal Oak at Crockham Hill, which gets good reviews for its food, is closed on Wednesdays. 

The walk is on familiar paths and through pleasant, open countryside.  In the afternoon, it passes the jam stall near Toy's Hill - an old favourite - so bring plenty of loose change to pay for your purchases.
