FKT: Claire Newman - The Harry Green Way - 2025-04-15

Ran solo unsupported carrying all my own kit and hydration.  Perfect conditions this time of year, especially following a coupe of dry weeks. Only issues were a couple fields where farmers had chained and padlocked the access gate and also a field with about 25/30 cows, some with calves, which had to be crossed very carefully! The HS2 footpath closure at Windmill Hill is still in place, looks like it will be for a long time as yet.  The diverted route adds a little bit of extra mileage,  I've provided a photo as evidence of the footpath closure and official diversion
