London Loop Section 5

Walk preview

1. Step 1: A fine 6 mile walk with four commons and the appropriately named Happy Valley. Waymarking is very good throughout. There are a few sharp ups and downs. Walking is on tarred or stony tracks, as well as grass or earth footpaths.

2. 

   Step 2: Leave the 403 bus stop at Hamsey Green. Turn left into Tithepit Shaw Lane - having crossed the road if arriving from the north.

3. 

   Step 3: Walk along the lane until it curves left. Here go straight on along a stony path to the left of the field and enter Riddlesdown.

4. 

   Step 4: Keep ahead , not left, at a junction with a signpost.

5. 

   Step 5: Continue along the clear path. Follow it as it gradually curves to the right.

6. 

   Step 6: Continue until you pass a trig point just by the left of the path.
