Tilford Morning Walk 20th February 2019

Reaching Tilford green we were surprised to see many other walking groups had chosen the green as their start point. Fortunately we did not seem to cross their paths except at the Frensham Pond cafeteria but plenty of seats were availbale. We had walked there from the green, partly following the River Wey (South Branch) and meeting some livestock along the way. We enjoyed a leisurely coffee stop to avoid clashing with of a group of 20 who were booked in the pub at the same time as our original booking. After our stop we headed for the RSPB reserves of Tankersford Common and Farnham Heath Nature reserve where there was plenty of evidence of clearance work being undertaken to create more biodiversity. Next we walked along Sheephatch Lane to cross the River Wey (Northern Branch) and then follow it back to the Barley Mow for a good lunch. The walk was about 5 miles.
