Overview

A shorter Saturday walk due to light levels in late December. Around Hindhead with view points of Highcombe, Gibbet Hill and Strawberry. Then onto Temple of the Winds, Invall and Combe Head. Following parts of the Greensand Way and through Polecat Valley. Great views from the hill tops. A few muddy patches though generally the paths are good.
