Sunday 26th August

Troubled by rain we were forced into another all-in-one walk. (May by it's time for a waterproof camera?!) We encountered some new planning. Horsley Brook Farm had started on 4 new chicken sheds: (17/01437/FULMEI). Diversification due to HS2 and its compulsory purchase which has "blighted" the farm. Then further on the fields for a new clubhouse and new holes that HS2 had bought for Whittington Heath Golf Club to compensate for running the line through their course. This will now be split by the railway.

Start - Coffee 7Km. Second coffee 15Km. Finish 19½Km. Total ≈ 12 Miles. (219m assent)
