Our guide book was uncannily accurate today. It warned of a thick mist which may obscure views, and indeed most of the time we could barely see fifty metres ahead. Later a small group of walkers emerged ahead of us exactly where the book had said the would. And while at the start I scoffed at its description of seeing wisps of smoke rising from houses across the Weald I was somehow not surprise when catching a glimpse of such as we started our descent.
We'd hoped to walk much further this weekend but these three two-hour walks have had a lovely relaxing pace about them allowing us to really take in the environment, even if it was drenched or cloaked in cloud.
