South Merstham to Westerham about 20km

The title sounds better than junction 8 of the M25 to Clacket Lane services on the M25!  Still, needs must. Very awkward to find accom when you need it. Don't want to be wandering around after 1700 wondering where to stay nor do we want to be walking for more than  7 to 8 hours inc lunch. So we nirmAlly try to see where we expect to be at about 1300 and work from there. Today meNt that the first obvious stop would have been too early as we would have been there at about 1330. Moreover, we could not find any specific places online. I'm sure there are places in Oxted but they are not online!  Located the 'hotel' at Clacket Services and booked online. Only another 5 km but it all helps. Got here by about 1430 and had lunch. So checked in by 1530. Not perfect, but at least we have a bed and the next possible place was 4km and although I'm sure there are places to stay in Westerham they don't show online. The walk from the way to the hotel was fun. Most was just another footpath but the paths ran out just west of the services at a wood. No problem we will just use google maps to navigate the wood. All fine as we tramped our way through the brambles until we got to the edge of the services to find it surrounded by a 6 ft security fence. Not that that would stop us. So we found the most suitable place and scrambled over. No guards came rushing out to see us so I guess it's ok. All settled in now waiting for a fine dining experience later. One prime disadvantage is that there is no bar!  Just settled down now and about to do the washing and ty to find somewhere for tomorrow.
