Wednesday Walk 12 April, 2023

The WWs will meet at the main entrance to the Westgate Gardens at 8:30am.

The weather forecast is for gusty winds and light rain showers. Check your in-box

at 7:00am if the weather outside your window doesn’t look great for a walk.

Hopefully there will not be a need to cancel.

For this week’s  ramble we’ll probably follow the river path in the Chartham direction and circle

back via Howfield Farm.

The pic shows six of the magnificent seven at the start of the walk last week.

It’s becoming a habit posing under Magnolia trees!
