This 6 mile walk was led by
Jenny & Ged with 19 walkers
Meeting on the grass space outside the house
entrance, we were informed by the gate guardians that we were not to park
our cars there as they were expecting droves of people turning up to visit the
house, really on a Thursday!
Duly complying with our orders, cars were moved
so we could then commence walking.
Making our way past the house and
associated building’s, we then made our way along the track that brought us into
Whitehall Plantation, which due to the recent weather and also being used by
horses, proved to be very muddy in place’s
We then crossed the road at Ion
lodge and on towards College Farm, where we saw the new council pot hole machine
in action.
Some road walking followed as we made our way out to Hanscombe
End and up to Shillington church for a well earned coffee break.
Leaving the church behind, we continued on towards Upper Gravenhurst, where we tackled the incline through the village that led us up to the track taking us back into Wrest Park.
With the wind blowing against us we passed Gravenhurst Lodge and
noted how much mistletoe was in all the trees we were passing.
Pressing on we
made it back to where the cars were parked, and low & behold, not a single
extra car in sight, a lot of fuss over nothing.
This brought us to the end of
a lovely walk and was thoroughly enjoyed by all the walkers
