Petersfield Morning Walk 26th July 2017

Den's walk was forecast wet and it certainly was, but with no heavy rain at all. Setting out from Penns Place we headed up towards Durleighmarsh and inspected some delicious looking fish on sale. Miraculously resisting the opportunity to pop into the Tea Barn we carried on to find a field of asparagus to use as our tea room. The promised Harting Down was just visible between rolling cloud banks. We carried on up the Sussex Border Path and the weather was definitely improving with a much better view of the Downs. We then turned east towards Sheet and passed through an area said to be a WW2 camp area called Four Marks  - more information please from those with long memories!  Finally along Pulens Lane to Penns Place. Lunch was a very satisfactory meal in the Great Oak. Walk was 5.5 miles with 305 ft height gain.

Yes that might be it!
