Thursday – 30 January, 2020 @ 8:30 Canterbury to Elham (Huw’s Way)

**Packed Lunch**but we could take tea/coffee at the new Cosy before returning back to Canterbury by bus?

This one starts at 8:30am outside 25 St Augustine’s Road and takes the Francigena to Patrixbourne. Then to Bridge via Bifrons Park.
Then there is a path crossing the Nailbourne to Crows Camp Hill just above Bishopsbourne.
We take a footpath from here and then a sharp left into Charlton Wood and then on to Heart’s delight via Marley.
We now follow the Elham Valley Way into Covert Wood, but on leaving the wood we go on the road to Bladbean Farm, and then on road and paths to Upper park gate Farm. From there we descend by road and path into Elham and, maybe, for Tea/Coffee/Beer before taking the bus back to Canterbury. About 11 miles.

Buses to Canterbury at 12:42 or 13:42 – journey time 33 mins
