Hooksway Shortened Day walk 14th February 2018

The forecast for Wednesday afternoon was for wet with blustery winds and being high above Harting seemed undesirable, so Jennifer wisely reduced her walk so that it ended at lunchtime. Even so, the wind and rain came early so we eventually reached The Royal Oak somewhat damp. The log fires were very helpful in drying wet legs. However, with a good lunch and a rest, we felt it was more of an achievement than an ordeal. Lovely countryside, hopefully to be admired in better conditions later in the year.

Wellingtons are sometimes useful.

Hat or hood today?
