Steve led 12 ramblers on a 7 mile walk beginning at the north end of Waltham village. The group crossed fields to the NATS radio beacon tower then alongside Bescaby Gallops. From Bescaby we followed stone paths looping around woods for a coffee stop at duck ponds at Bescaby Farm. Onwards to Stonesby and through the village churchyard we reached Stonesby Quarry (now a Nature Reserve) for a lunch stop. Finally we crossed fields back to the NATS tower and returned via the first walk leg to finish.
Thanks for the photos Paul and Steve.
