Overview

This walk will have some great views from Whiteleaf Hill and Chequers Knapp but some very steep inclines and declines focused on Pulpit Hill and Beacon Hill. This is a challenge walk and demanding so is only suitable for walkers with above average fitness and a good sense of balance. It could be a useful training walk if you are preparing yourself for some strenuous walking and moderate scrambling, depending on the effectiveness of your traction on steep ground which can be weather dependent. Strong walking boots with good grip are essential.

Second in a series of 3 strenuous walks, each of which will increase in length.

We will stop for a banana break along the way and for a hot or cold drink at the end of the walk at the Plough.

Well behaved dogs are allowed.
