n=5 on this walk; w=cloudy-and-mild. Nice winter outing and not too muddy except for the last field before the pub which has an unavoidable tractor created mud-filled track bisecting the route. At least there was not so much cattle churn as I remember from a previous winter outing. After our sandwiches I and another picnicker decided to press on at the lunch pub as the weather looked to be closing in and to be frank neither the Bell (which was almost empty) nor the village of Chartridge are places, in my view, you really want to linger. We two got back to Chesham around 2.15pm and my companion went to catch the tube whilst I lingered in a cafe for coffee and a perusal of the Sunday papers.
I hope the 3 pub-lunchers were served quickly and got back to Chesham before any rain set in.
Additional point: the Chesham circular walk has no gpx route so I may add this if the walks deviser is ok with this?
