Challock 9 mile circular via Boughton Aluph

We meet in The Stag carpark (used to be the Halfway House pub at the Challock crossroads). Ive only just found out they have stopped trading, but we are still OK to park there. Please park at the bottom farthest away from the pub as its also a residence. We head east through Kings Woods before descending partly on the North Downs way to pass through Boughton Aluph then Boughton Lees. The pub here opens midday, so hopefully we will stop for a comfort break, before crossing the A251 and heading north through the Eastwell estate. After heading through parkland we pass Beech Croft before heading east through the Lees to return to the pub carpark.
