The group of twenty-eight assembled on the main car park in Chipping before calling at “Tillotsons” to pre-order their lunch. Taking a “Quiet” lane the leader then took the party up the drive towards Leagram Hall before turning right across the fields to Knott Hill where there was a disused Lime Kiln and signs of former industrial activity. Taking a track to Lower Greystoneley Farm, where two desirable residences have been created, and are for sale (It could be called agricultural diversification) the group approached a ford where the concrete track on the approach to a footbridge was extremely slippery and slimy. Continuing up a broken up track the footpath passed through Higher Greystoneley where building contractors were beavering away creating more habitats for humans. After passing an old fashioned red telephone box (now defunct) the party descended to a brook near to Lickhurst Farm and took a break for coffee. The route then passed Lickhurst Farm and continued to a now derelict Park Stile before arriving at Park Gate. After Park Gate the path then took the party via Birchen Lee and the former Berry’s Chair Works to return to Chipping for lunch. Lovely weather, lovely scenery and good company. Thank you leader.
