What a lovely run we had today, many thanks to Ken and Sue for hosting.
We met at Newland's Corner and headed out in search of St Martha's church, passing through wonderful countryside and taking in some spectacular views.
It soon become a realisation that the church is more commonly known as "St Martha-on-the-Hill", oh yes it was hilly though well worth the effort when we reached the top, just in time for the Sunday morning servce. We decided we were inappropriately dressed this time to join in the Sunday worship.
We ended our run back at Newand's Corner, a lively busy venue on a Sunday morning, where else might you find a 'Smart car convention'!? It was cups of tea all around and a well deserved bowl of water for the lovely Harvey.
A very enjoyable run, good conditions, stunning sceney and great company.
Below are the key
features of the route:
a) starting off at Newlands Corner
b) headed downwards towards Silent Pool which was very tranquil (no sign of
the raven-haired peasant girl who drowned as King John was passing who
haunts the lake). Adjacent was a new vine yard.
c) into Albury up some hills
d) past Chilworth gun-powder mills (think the remains we saw were from WW1)
e) up an extremely steep hill on St. Martha's Hill and church.
f) heading back towards Newlands Corner
g) back to the refreshment area for a nice cup of coffee\tea.
