Overview

We start at a car park just off the A24 at South Holmwood in Mill Road. It's not very large.

From there, we head across the A24 towards Abinger Forest. There is a ascent up to here. 

We then work our way round to Leith Hill, then carry on further to Coldharbour for lunch at The Plough. After lunch is a gradual descent to the car park. 

7.8 miles, 5.3 am / 2.5 pm
