Bluebells & Caravans

Its Sunday... time for a variation walk from the car park in Chiddingly. A good central point to start many walks in different directions. A quiet Sunday morning stroll it turned into quickly, and despite the warm, blue looking skies, the wind had a bitter nip in its tail. Out of the wind down small country lanes and traversing new field tracks we arrived at the Stream Bridge and paid polite homage, dipping a hiking stick into the pond. The full depth never discovered.

A westerly direction and once again walking across barely trodden paths in fields where stiles were fashionable yet poorly designed.

Eventually reaching another lane, we were over half way through our walk. The Vanguard Way beckoned us into a narrow yet well preserved pathway, where the woodland area floor was carpeted with newly blossoming bluebells and anemones.

Our final stretch across open fields gave us a glimpse of the local Caravan Club site at Broomfield Farm. 

Around 15 minutes later and we had retraced our final footpath back into Chiddingly and the chance to savour a brief beverage at the Six Bells Public House, after a 5.2 miles walk.
