Brief Description
With the possibility of a Tube strike later on in the day, I've posted this as an extra walk (in addition to the Winchester Circular). I would suggest walkers do the shorter version of this walk to arrive back in Euston in good time if the potential industrial action is confirmed. (In any event, there are good bus services from Euston) You may find full details of the walk here and a downloadable PDF here
Suggested Lunch stops
The Brownlow Café, a
National Trust kiosk on the Ashridge
Estate.
Suggested Tea stops
Possibility of a quick cuppa at The Greyhound at Albury if strike is on.

Planning to do this walk instead of the Winchester one because of potential tube strike tomorrow.
n=6 on this walk with a w=longish_shower_in_the_morning_but_sunny_later_on".
A shorter walk for those who may have had travel difficulties returning home from Waterloo after the tube strike started.
We skipped Ivinghoe Beacon and headed straight to Brownlows for a good value and tasty lunch. Fresh cream and strawberry scones were on offer and were yummy. Five returned to Tring via Albury, while the poster went off to explore routes around Ashridge College before slipping down through Frithsden woodland to Berkhampsted.
