Wed 2 September 2020 - 7.5 miles - FARNINGHAM ROAD - Leader: Sue E

Walking stretches of the Darenth Valley Path we head north, then turn east and south via Horton Kirby and back north to South Darenth, a former mill town. Across fields and views of old churches and a viaduct. At a moderate pace and some ups and downs but nothing long and taxing and a lot is flat.
Picnic lunch but drink stop at pub in Horton Kirby possible.Blackberrying may be possible, also optional paddling near the end of the walk.
