Near Godden Green, Kent – 4/10

This stile is located at the other end of the same field as the previous stile reviewed at this location, and therefore is likely to be the same owner – it certainly includes the same levels of carelessness and indolence displayed in what is a very minimal design (though that seems to be a very generous word to use in this context) that uses a genuine hotchpotch of wood.

Visually this stile is an absolute detritus; the rather pathetic (and solitary) ‘step’ is not only rather small, but also painfully low in relation to the bar, while the two main posts are only just about okay to hold on to. If navigation as not already enough of a challenge due to the egregious design, there are also the added hazards of the netting inside the stile and a bit of barbed wire attach to each of the posts.
