Length: 10.6 miles (17km) 4 out of 10 (some comments say 5)
"This is the Chilterns, showing all the characteristics of this range of hills. In particular, there are lots of fine beech woods on the walk, The walk is not all wooded, however, and has some good open stretches and a number of fine views. Though the terrain is undulating, gradients are in general not taxing."

N=12 today. A w=cloudy-dry day. A brisk pace on a walk tougher than I remember, with stiles and plenty of ups and downs. In places there was this brown sticky stuff on the ground. Someone said it was called ‘mud’. Thankfully, not a lot of it.
There was an unexpected detour in the morning. I hate to use the L word as you know. But we were, briefly. Not my fault of course. I blame the others. I was merely following.
We eventually got to the Pink and Lily, where people were impressed with the quality and presentation of their meals.
After lunch, i fell into bad company and was persuaded to follow three others on an unscheduled shortcut that took us to the Horse Trust’s Sanctuary near Speen. Lots of retired or rescued horses, all with their life stories displayed. And a tea room. This would make a great alternative ending. Scenic too. If only I could remember the route ‘sigh’.
