Overview

Meeting on the green opposite the Bucks Head, this is a clockwise loop heading out across the golf course and through Seal Chart towards Ightham Mote, then back via Bitchet. There is an 'on road' section of about 400 metres near Ightham Mote.

There will be a toilet stop at Ightham. If its not too crowded and our numbers are sensible, we can extend it to allow for coffee and snacks at the cafe.

Post walk drinks and/or food will be available at the Bucks Head.

There is free on road parking across from the Bucks Head, but do car share if you are able so that we dont make parking difficult for their customers.
