Overview

Yes, it's back! After a couple of years' disruption from Covid, we can test our legs and stamina with this challenging walk designed to fit in plenty of climbs on the North Downs. Some of the climbs are optional if you are happy to wait while others make a short circuit, but if you do them all, you will have climbed about 2000 feet, the equivalent of a Lakeland peak. Lunch is at Kemsing with public toilets and a pub, but please bring a picnic in order to keep it to about 45 minutes.
