Festival Walk through Harrow Weald Common, Bentley Priory and Stanmore Common
Leader: David Bearfield
Over 50 people turned up, despite the weather not
looking too good. As it happened, we had almost no rain at all. Bentley
priory area and summerhouse lake was great and David found a flowery, grassy
spot for our picnic. Several people hadn't known of the route from Harrow
Weald Common to the Priory area.

Enjoy a wander through deepest Stanmore Common

On the way to the 'second' walk, a loop round to look for the bare gravel patch
Is this natural or laid down shingle?
