HeartSmart walk led by Jane from Walderton to Compton

On this slightly overcast day with high Humidity we set off from by the River Ems(this flows to Emsworth) Up behind Mitcharmer Farm up our first rise before heading downward and crossing the road upward again through Woodbarn Forrest to Lye common. downward again into the trees known as Haslett Copse only to rise again and circumnavigate  Grevitts Copse. Down and then upagain to Locksash Farm. from here a slight rise and Downward till we arrive at Compton. This was a fantastic four and onehalf miles. Certainly  a thorough Cardiovascular workout, if it was at a faster pace it would certainly been an exceptional aerobic session. What would be a drawback is the occasional loose flint and other stones underfoot.  Thank you Jane.

 The shape of this circular walk reminds me of Dr Whos robotic dog K9

Leaving my other walkers I accepted Jane's advice and headed back on the western side of the B2146, much shorter and less energy required. Leaving the village I disappeared into the hedge row and headed diagonally up across the fields of West Hanger and down into Drift Road plantation. Keeping to the West of Bottom Copse till I reached West Marden. Crossing the road I entered a field of Abadeen Angus the into the trees of Nore Down till I reached Cabragh House on the edge of Watergate Hanger. Up through the trees  and again on the western edge all the way down to Monarchs Way onto the B2146 again then just a few hundred meters back to the car. All in all a good day and a fantastic walk.
