Ashford Camino, week 3 (25 September 2026)

This walk was from Mersham and up Collier's Hill, south east of Ashford.  It was a "week for taking a moment to look up, gain perspective and see where you're heading".  No steep hills, just a steady incline to the top of Collier's Hill to find the trig point and practice some map reading with a compass.

I made Brunsli Cookies which are star-shaped Christmas cookies.  The recipe was created by Yotam Ottolenghi.  Gluten-free, full of almonds and with a slight chewiness.  No leftovers again!
