09/10/05 - Starting at Mark's Corner (or just down the road), 23 set out to the west on a beautiful sunny day. Turning north past Stagwell, we continued on to the coast via Whippance Farm. Along the (slightly smelly) beach we stopped at the delightful holiday camp Cafe for a beverage and chat. Heading inland again, we made our way towards Porchfield, then across country into the back of Parkhurst Forest, and through to retrace out steps to the cars (some retracing a little more than others!).
