Hooksway, to Mount Sinai

This walk is deliberately chosen because although it is relatively short it is none the less very challenging. Its main claim to fame is the sheer number of skylark that you will hear from spring right up to early autumn. I must admit this is usually the first lark of the year that I hear and often at the end of September it is still singing.
