N=16 on a w=cold-dry-misty day.15 moved off at at a brisk pace. The 16th followed behind, with a cheery grin and a kind word for everyone he met (4 humans and a barky dog).
Not too hilly in the morning, can’t say the same for the afternoon, with two killer climbs. Largely firm underfoot but some quaggy patches.
Lunch was at the Gate which seemed quite good, (not that Mr Tiger got to sample any of it) though some thought the pub was a bit cold.
The afternoon woods proved a minor challenge as paths seemed to have changed. Not worthy of the L word though. Some got to Great Missenden just in time to miss the 15:03 A slower contingent arrived about 15:30. Most went to Matilda’s. Mr Tiger to the George. The 16:03 trundled us back to Marylebone.
