Grayswood walk 30th August 2023

We met up at Grayswood village hall car park for Tim and Jane’s 5 mile walk, crossed the village green down Lower Road towards Clammer Hill Road and onto the footpath behind gardens. We skirted Frillinghurst Wood. Breaking out into a field gave great scenic views until we came out onto Prestwick Lane before turning off through a fruit tree orchard and some automotive excitement. There were a few locations for foraging blackberries that we found it difficult to ignore. We walked the edge of a field with sheep back into the edge of Frillinghurst Wood where some forestry work gave us plenty of seating for our coffee break. At the tee junction we branched off to Frillinghurst Farm to enjoy their Jacob sheep and tramped across fields and woods, fought our way through ferns until we came to a peaceful pond. Turning right towards Imbhams Farm more woods and ferns were encountered until tarmac of Clammer Hill allowed us to speed up back to our starting point. A quick drive into Haslemere saw us diverting into The White Horse for lunch.

Time for more blackberry foraging?

I think we can take this as a sign

Ferns as far as the eye can see

The tree’s reaching out to get us
