This walk, led by Denis, started at the Newman Collard car park and took us up across the A3 for a pleasant walk through the countryside to the wonderful Hawkley Inn for lunch. We returned very well refreshed via a different route and some thought they saw the same pair of deer as we had spotted in the morning. Also seen were some early primroses, so perhaps spring is just around the corner. We walked 7.1/2 miles with 390 feet gained.
