Overview

This is a walk to Sandon and back.  The route out is past Bachelor's Wood and Friar's Wood, returning past Roe Green, Redhill and Shaw Green.  We will see some changes since we last walked this route and the timing is planned to have a good chance to see the bluebells and wild garlic in flower.  The dry spring means the ground is no longer waterlogged, but walkers ought to wear stout footwear.
