Up on the North Downs

Riverhead to Westerham

Ivan and I did this walk back in August 2014 without Trevor and as Ivan was needed for Babysitting duties today it was a good opportunity to walk it again with Trevor. Yet another perfect walking weather day with sun and high cloud with a decent breeze to keep us cool.

We parked up at Riverhead and picked up the Darent Way path following it northwards until we reached the bottom of the North Downs. Then there was the good pull up to the top of the downs where we met the North Downs Way which we followed westward along the escarpment for about 5 miles before dropping down and into Westerham. Lunch was at the old favourite "George and Dragon" pub before we caught the bus back to Riverhead and the car.
