March 7, 2022, Blaze Trails - Box Hill

National Trust (paid) parking - free for NT members. Not suitable for pushchairs. Steep steps down to the river which can be slippery in winter. You can cross the river over the stepping stones or a bridge further along the route. Steep hill back up to the top so slightly challenging but doable. Fully marked route, follow 'Stepping Stones Walk'.

Another fantastic morning out with @Adventure Queens. This time we even managed to complete the stepping stones 🪨 🪨 🪨 🪨 🪨 Finished with a chilly picnic in the sun with plenty cups of tea ☕️ to keep us warm 😊
