Harrietsham to Charing NDW

As a result of WX forecasts ranging from very low temps to snow/rain and strong north winds,we decided on a tried route along a firm path.As it turned out,it was sunny,warm ,bright,and only a slight breeze,a lovely day.We caught the train back to Harrietsham and the fare was negligable.
6 of us 7 Miles 3 hours sunny.
