Wednesday, 1 December 2021- WALK LIKE THE CLAPPERS - HARLINGTON CIRCULAR - 7 miles - Leader: Hilary Po

The morning walk takes us over the undulating Sundon Hills as we head for Sharpenhoe Clappers, an Iron Age hill fort now covered by a beech wood. Some nice views. Be prepared for a steady climb. The return is mostly flat over fields.
