Expedition
Neil was spending the weekend in Kent and this hashpoint was only a few miles from base. The hashpoint was a foxglove glade right beside a forest track in an area, open to the public. You had to be careful where you trod to avoid damaging next summer's foxglove flowers. The whole area is being managed to preserve unique North Downs habitats. Situated on the top of the North Downs, there were fantastic views, both north over the Thames estuary and south over the Weald of Kent. The ground was wet and slippery after the melting of recent ice and snow and squally showers on the day. Leeds Castle is close by as well as the historic village of Hollingbourne.
