Arrived at Marylebone to learn of the cancellation of all Aylesbury via Wendover trains until past noon due to a points failure just outside the station. A group of us took the Metropolitan to Harrow on the Hill from where they were running an hourly service between Harrow and Aylesbury.

#9 of us gathered at Wendover just before midday. Weather #warm_and_sunny all day. Reached our "early" pub at The Lee before 2pm for welcome refreshment and food for half of our number, (remainder picnicked on the green). After lunch 3 of us fell back and stopped for a while a couple of times on this particularly fine day....at Wendover Woods by go-ape, we decided / happened to go off script and make our own meandering way back into Wendover. Mistaken route choices - mainly mine - resulted in an extra couple of miles or so. Finished up at the Shoulder of Mutton PH for a light meal before catching the 20:28.

This is where it all began. Last went on this walk for the initial walk check about 10 years ago. Never did I imagine that the author of this walk (his first) would go on to write a "few" other walks.
