Another training walk for the 2015 Gurkha Welfare Trust Trailwalker Challenge. This 43km loop started near Bearsted and, after crossing the M20 motorway, joined the North Downs Way heading down to Lenham. The return route was via Liverton Street, King's Wood and Leeds (of the Castle fame). A great day out in the beautiful Kent countryside!
