Bartlow

 Wednesday October 28^th 2020.

This was our first visit to the Three Hills at Bartlow, which soon became a stalwart of pandemic life. We have been regular visitors since, both as the 4 Blokes and with our other halves with friends in the evenings. 

They took a very positive attitude to the necessary Covid precautions, erecting a huge ‘sail’ gazebo on their patio with efficient space heaters, sheepskin rugs and windbreaks, and employed enthusiastic young staff serving tasty, reasonably-priced food and good Wherry. 

On this first occasion, we parked at the pub and approximately followed this walk from the Stapleford Strollers (sketch map here) in an anticlockwise direction, although we extended it to Ashdon. 

Later, we made a circular walk from Ashdon windmill. Stapleford Strollers description here and sketch map here.
