Overview

     
A walk from Preston Candover passing through arable farmland and wooded tracks and continuing via hard surfaces to Dummer, where we will stop for a picnic lunch. We then follow a quiet country road before passing through Nutley Wood, up and over Windmill Hill, then up to Moundsmere Manor, before returning to Preston Candover on firm tracks.  Good views throughout. No stiles.

Please let the leader know you are coming as we may set off early if all known walkers have arrived.

This is a replacement for the Farley Mount walk in the original programme, due to the amount of mud there making it difficult and unpleasant walking.  There will still be mud, as there is everywhere just now, but hopefully much less so.
