Wed 3 April 2019 - 17 miles - THE DEVIL’S JUMPS - BENTLEY TO FARNHAM - Leader: Nick W

Brisk walk entering the ancient Alice Holt forest, then beside a stream leading to Frensham Great Pond and south across the heather-filled common to climb the Devil's Jumps. Then on to Hankley Common, a pretty mixture of Scots Pine, heather, and fine views, with a very remote feel. Possible late drink in Tilford before joining the North Downs Way to Farnham. Lunch: Tern Cafe, Frensham Little Pond, or picnic.

You three at the back!

Early lunch stop by the banks of Frensham Great Pond

Devil’s Jump (after a devil of a climb)

Nice view though

And a short sandy climb

It’s only 6 and a half miles to go!
