Route: across the Strawberry Fields to Natland, across the green and taking the footpath after Appletree south east towards Cracalt Farm eventually crossing the path of the canal on rather a grand bridge and descending to the bank of river Kent. Along this to a footbridge and by Nannypie Lane to the pub. Back the same way in the deepening darkness but only having navigational difficulty in finding the canal bridge.
Conditions: after a windy and sometimes wet day, a pleasant evening and, on the way back, a still night.
Pub: the Strickland Arms, Sizergh for (dinner and) Youngs London Gold and Thwaites Hardy Tup.
