Saturday 16th April: Day 5-Wrotham to Aylesford. Early start today and a long walk ahead. Crossed the M20 and the HS1 route to head back up along the North Downs. Lambs frolicking, skylarks singing, an Adder crossing the path, butterflies chasing; flowers and blossoms bursting open, and rapeseed splashing large patches of yellow in green rolling vistas. The Garden of England; its sights, sound and fragrances. Even spotted the Easter bunny relaxing in the evening. Walked 12 miles (19.2km) (Total:50.75miles). Overnight in The Priory, Aylesford.

Friday 15th April: Day 4-Otford to Wrotham. Perfect walking weather forecast for weekend. Visit Kemsing and St Mary the Virgin church. Arrived as indoor Good Friday service ended; and refreshments were prepared for congregation who walked up the hill for outside service. The ladies and gents made me very welcome and I was treated to personal tour of church by Jean. Onwards along the PW to Wrotham and St George church, enjoying wonderful views across the Garden of England. Walked 5.75 miles (9.2km) (Total:38.75miles). Overnight in Wrotham.

Sunday 10th April: Day 3–Dartford to Otford. The route into the unknown and new horizons has begun, with sunshine all along the way. The Pilgrims Way follows mainly along the Darent Valley Path. Relaxing route along the snaking river, passing anglers and pilots, through sleepy villages and up through the fields to see for miles along the valley. Emus, roman villa, medieval castles and churches, play areas by the river and a cake shop at the end of the route (to collect the passport stamp). How varied was that? Walked 11.5 miles (18.5km).
