    amib, May-19

    A new walk in Kent, starting on the banks of the River Medway. This 11.8 miler passes through some mixed terrain, including riverside paths; former quarries; an organic vineyard; field margins; woods and downland; a former long barrow and a former zoo! There is, unfortunately, also a section running alongside a noisy and busy dual carriageway.

    Lunch is had 4 miles in at the now redundant, St Mary's church, Burham, which is now maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust.

    All-in-all, a decent new walk, tarnished only by the section of North Downs Way alongside the A229.
