Start: 10:30am @ Rushall Manor Farm, Back Lane, Stanford Dingley (SU582723, RG7 6DS)
Description: A favourite walk in West Berkshire. From Rushall Farm we proceed towards the delightful village of Stanford Dingley. From there we walk along the Pang Valley up to Rotten Row. We walk through some mixed farm and forest until we reach the playing fields of Bradfield College where we will have our banana break. We cross the river Pang and then walk through Bradfield and then proceed to cross the river plain and the up the other side of the Pang Valley into forest and woodland until we return to the cars.
Grade: Leisurely
Well this was a contrast to yesterday in terms of numbers, twenty two walkers and three doggies. Plenty of parking spaces, a slight delay on setting off as a few people had gone to the wrong meeting place.
It was warmer today, my car dash said 11C so I was able to dispense with my jacket for most of the walk, just got a bit chilled when we stopped for our banana break. No rain thankfully, but lots of mud, quite slippery in places so I was glad to have my walking poles.
It was fun walking through the college knowing Josh was in there somewhere.
Total mileage was approx 6.5 miles.
