A Bromley Valley

On 25th January I joined a guided walk over the southern part of the Green Street Green circular walk.  It was led by Jenny Price from the Bromley Countryside Service.  Over fields, through woods, up and down valleys. This valley was steeper than it looks.

This was a very enjoyable mixed environment walk.  The group wasn't large; given what is available on these walks, I wonder why we don't see more. But it's not all the same people every time, so eventually many will benefit.

The BCS people are based at High Elms, and part of the walk was through the edge of their woods, where dormice live.  They put out boxes for them but don't often find them there.

This walk was supposed to be three and a half miles, but was more like five.  Although the weather was cold and overcast, the sun did break through a couple of times.  It didn't start to rain until I was driving back home; good timing.
