Saunderton via Bledlow Circular T=2.2
Length: 17.3km (10.7miles), 5 hours 20 minutes. 6 out of 10
You can shortcut the ending after lunch by walking to Princess Risborough, the next stop on the line.
"This walk through a peaceful part of the rolling Chiltern Hills has one or two steep hills, but otherwise gradients are gentle and there are many fine views out over the valley and plain. The first part of the walk follows the valley bottom before following the Ridgeway to lunch at Bledlow. In the afternoon you pass through a series of secluded valleys before reaching Radnage and then over Bledlow Ridge and back along the valley to Saunderton."
Trains: Get the 0953 Aylesbury train from London Marylebone (running late? get the 1000 Birmingham train and change at High Wycombe). Return trains are xx57. You can shorten the journey time by changing at High Wycombe.
Lunch: The suggested lunchtime place is the Lions Bledlow, 7km from the start of the walk, food from 12 to 2.30pm daily and has an extensive garden. There is also the church & Lyde Gardens for a picnic.
Tea: The Golden Cross is an excellent place to wait for the train.

Hello sounds lovely.are you 100% sure to do it? Can I join +1?both very keen hikers. Thanks
Anyone can join our walks. Please look at the introduction to see how we work. There are no leaders, the walk will take place with whoever turns up. We are a friendly & sociable group - read some walk reports to get a flavour. Remember to download the walk directions and/or gpx route.
Just n=2 off the train and dressed for rain, which persisted for the next hour. We grabbed a quick pint in the pub, planning to have sandwiches later on. A mostly dry afternoon with one shower, so w=rain-grey-skys-wind. Got the 1557. Mud of course, but mostly surface & one claggy field.
