Weobley Return via Burton Hill

Sue had an appointment in Weobley and I planned to get a lift then walk back. I had picked a couple of walks out of the Weobley Walks book - combining the Ledgemoor, Hilltop, Garnstone woods and Shoals bank (#25) with Devereux Wootton farm Circular (#30), together with the return home from Eccles Green.
The weather was very foggy and this included Burton Hill.

BOC Walk, Runnymede & Windsor Great Park

This walk was arranged to go through the Runneymede park, see one of the magna carta memorials, then move into Windsor Great Park for a loop before returning back along the Thames Path.

BOC Walk - Prewalk, Runnymede

I had signed up for a BOC retirees walk whilst down in the South East. I was in the Chertsey C&C site overnight in the van, but was not sure of a parking site close to Runnymede that would take it, so I planned to walk up the Thames path from Chertsey bridge to Runnymede.
I was up early due to the time change from BST to GMT and caught the sun rise.

Chertsey Stroll

Sunday morning, I left Canterbury early and headed across to Copthorne for band practice.
After I managed to not embarrass myself too much on the pipes, and the usual social afterwards I headed up towards London, and the C&C campsite in Chertsey.
They allocated me a pitch next to the river Thames, quite pleasant with only a few planes overhead.

AAC non Walk, North Downs Way, Wye Downs

The wind had died down overnight and the skies cleared. All the alternative walks I had thought about vanished as the forecast showed the rain would hold off until the afternoon. There was also a pamphlet in the site information room showing a shorter version which I could incorporate as required.
That being so I thought I could make use of the original plan watching the skies and the clock, before deciding when to turn back. I also chose to leave as early as I could once I was sorted and the trains complied, so I was off just after 8am.
It was cold this morning as I walked back down to Canterbury, and through the centre, out the west gate and across to the "west" train station. Essentially the same route as last night with a bit on the end.
