Hill Brow Walk on 2nd March 2022


This walk was Janet's walk with a few detours to go around fallen trees from the recent storms. From the car park of The Jolly Drover, we headed south-east to reach Durford Wood, which initially seemed unharmed by the recent gales. However as we walked down towards Durleighmarsh we did notice more damage and had to either duck under trees or take a diversion. Turning east towards Tipsall we kept an eye out for any aircraft using the airstrip, but we were disappointed. From there we carried on into Rogate Common before heading back to our excellent  lunch stop in the Jolly Drover. A lovely walk of about 4.3/4 miles and the occasional misty rain did nothing to spoil our ramble.
