The weather was very foggy and this included Burton Hill.
Bluesky Mining - Mountain & Walking Days
Welcome to my world of days in the great outdoors.
This diary of outdoor stories is recorded for my own record - recollections that I cannot guarantee are complete or even if things have been remembered (in)correctly.

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.

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.
