| Distance: | 7 miles | Ascent: | 960 feet |
| Time: | 2 hours 50 minutes | ||
| Weather: | Mild and suuny | ||
| Comments: | This walk was a repeat of a route done previously a number of times but with a change to include Bowley Scout Camp. The track between Hey Farm and Dean Wood was tedious and the route through the Scout Camp was not as shown on the map. This route was not as pleasant as the one done previously. | ||
