Route: A Walk from Wetwang
Area: East Yorkshire
Date of walk: 9th November 2013
Walkers: Andrew and Gilly
Distance: 9.6 miles
Ascent: 300 feet
We parked by the village hall in Wetwang. The blue skies which we’d seen from the car had by now turned to black and a thunderstorm threatened. As it was, we escaped the worst, but it rained for the first half of the walk, which was across rolling farmland
When we reached the Chalkland Way – the second half of our walk – the rain stopped at last and we were treated to some blue sky and sun
This was a beautiful section of the walk following the bottom of a chalk valley. We eventually emerged out of the valley back onto farmland and thence back into Wetwang

Back in Wetwang, we join the queue at Harpers. People come here from miles around, and it’s popular with the locals too
