Walks

One of the regular exercise activities enjoyed by members, relatives and friends is a monthly walk in local countryside led and arranged by one of our members. Coffee taken at a hostelry where we will also take lunch is the usual start followed by a 2 to 3 mile walk taken at a gentle pace and over easy to medium country. Lunch follows on return with much conversation! Other non-walkers are always welcome to join for lunch. Details of each month’s walk appear in our monthly Newsletter together with a report on the previous month’s walk or on this website

WALKS REPORT

The walk on 14 August was led by Andrew Dunk from the Visitor Centre in Lullingstone Country Park. The original proposed walk was changed (due to the limited time available) and 9 walkers enjoyed a gentle stroll of approximately 2 miles along the Darent Valley to the Lullingstone Roman Villa and back. Lunch was at The Malt Shovel in Eynsford where the 9 walkers were joined by a further 6 members and partners, so a very good turnout. Thanks to all those who supported this event. Andrew
The September walk will start from Bartellas car park. It is approximately 3 miles and is being led by Bernard Nash whose knowledge of the area and its history from the Second World War, you will find very interesting. Your route is to travel down the A2 and take the A227 from the Gravesend turn off, traveling towards Wrotham. Pass by Istead Rise and continue to Meopham. Once over the railway bridge, continue along the A227 for about a quarter of a mile where you will pass Hook Green on your right. Immediately after here is Bartellas. Please park here at the far end of the car park.
Due to financial needs we will not be lunching here but will travel to the Leather Bottle in Cobham.
Their menu is on line so those wishing to join us for lunch please choose your menu and let Peter Marsh know preferably by e-mail (marsh1947@btinternet.com) bearing in mind he is on holiday until 30th August 2024.
Peter and Bernard
