Saturday, 24 September 2022 - PILGRIMS WAY 6: BEARSTED TO CHARING - 13 miles - Leader: Barbara M

Following ancient trackways, some of which (especially in the first few miles) are now roads. There are good views of the North Downs. It may be possible to visit medieval churches at Hollingbourne and Lenham. Note that there are no public toilets before Charing.

Lunch: Wide choice of pubs and cafes at Lenham. There are a few benches for picnickers.
