Saturday 20 September
Our next Walking Boots adventure will be led by Jen
Cowden to Hever – 8 miles
Upcoming dates for your diary
Saturday 11 October: a walk around the North Downs led by Rob.
Our next outing is a peaceful 8 mile walk through remote valleys, woods and hamlets in the undulating landscape of the Kent High Weald, walking from Cowden to Hever. The terrain is mostly uneven paths, fields and woodland. There are a couple of small inclines, and there are several stiles to cross (some in poor condition).
We will meet at the ticket office at London Bridge station at 9.35am, ready to catch the train at 9.51.
You will need to purchase an off-peak, or open, day return to Cowden. We will return from Hever, which is on the same line. If you are using an app such as Trainline to buy your ticket, you may need to specify a train – select the 10am London Bridge train, arriving at Cowden at 10.53. We will need to change at East Croydon, so to give us enough time we are taking a slightly earlier train than is suggested by the train ticket apps (a day return ticket is valid for this).
If you plan to join the train at any other stop, please let me know.
Lunch will be at The Castle Inn at Chiddingstone. Due to space restrictions, and the need to pre-book our meals (details to follow), numbers will be limited and you will need to let me know if you would like to come on the walk by Friday 12th September at the latest.

The small print
The group works on the same basis as would a group of friends who go out walking together, inviting others to join them.
Everyone taking part does so at their own risk. SJP and the walk leaders assume no responsibility for anyone attending any Walking Boots event. They will not be held responsible for any accident, injury or loss occurring as a result of any Walking Boots event or in connection with travel to such event, however caused. By joining a walk, you indicate that you accept these conditions.Outdoor activities frequently need specialist equipment (boots, waterproofs, etc) and the group does not provide these. You are responsible for assessing your own risk and the suitability of any equipment used. You may want to alert the walk leader to any medical condition that may affect you during the walk. The walk leader may, at their discretion, encourage you not to join the walk if in their opinion you are ill-equipped for the terrain and weather conditions.
We usually visit a pub or café for lunch. You are responsible for alerting the eating establishment to any food allergies you may have. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent, grandparent etc or guardian.
Dogs are usually welcomed on walks. You are encouraged to check with the leader whether the proposed walk is suitable for dogs.
