Langley - Broomfield - Leeds loop
The weather forecast showed a damp grey day but with a bit of a window of opportunity from 10-00am to 2-00pm and as it turned out it was pretty accurate and we timed our walk perfectly and didn't get wet at all.Autumn is still not over and some of the trees are still hanging on to their colourful leaves even with only 5 weeks to go to Christmas. I don't think I have known such a late Autumn.
This walk was plotted directly from the map and so we had no idea what it would be like but it turned out to be a very good trek on mostly good paths with only a few muddy patches. It also took in woodland; open fields and the wonderful view of Leeds Castle as we walked through their grounds. Lunch was at "The George Inn" in Leeds Village and this too was an excellent stop.
Unfortunately the Walkmeter decided not to start after lunch (no, it wasn't the lunchtime pint that affected it!) so the stats are a bit of an estimate.
