Bridleway hairpin, Duncton Hill About 100 m further along, is this hairpin between the two levels leading to the top of the limekiln. Chalk was loaded in the top level and lime was extracted at the lower level. The hairpin came as a surprise to a descending cyclist - note the skid mark. photo - text:- Robin Webster - 24 May, 2007 - return to Rother Valley Trail
