Tilton circular via Maresfield viaduct, and Lowesby

Thursday 06 June. With Harry, Maureen and Eddie. Just over seven and a half miles. Fine weather, dry underfoot, but some crop-dodging still needed close to Lowenva Lodge.
Basically the same route as on Monday, with a couple of wrinkles ironed out, and we didn't walk an extra half mile just before the end this time! 

Downhill to start with towards Red Lodge Farm, with great views ahead. 

 A bridge crosses the dismantled railway - well below. We didn't scramble down.

 The viaduct - and we did scramble up...quite tricky.

 Time for a spot of golf.

 The short stretch of road looks a bit ravilious.
