On Sunday 29th June, eight keen walkers undertook the 11 mile walk from Kintbury. Conditions were great; a gentle breeze and lots of shade cover to dampen what heat there was. The route was changed, and shortened, due to two rather large bulls that blocked our path, but this was anticipated as a result of the recci last Sunday and as such was not a problem.
Lunch was had at Lower Green where the previous manicured grass has now been left uncut to encourage the growth of the native wild flowers. The old seating has been replaced to make the stop even more appealing.
We then ventured onto the Crown and Garter for a toilet and drink stop, and there was an even mix of tea, soft drinks and pints. We then headed through Inkpen Common and onwards to Kintbury where we had cooling drinks at the Dundas Arms.
All in all a very pleasant Sunday. Thankyou to all the participants for making it a memorable walk for me.
Thanks go to Ian for leading this walk and for writing it up.
