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), arriving 1051. 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.

Group walk: 26th March
Disappointing turn-out of n=7 on a day of w=perfect-weather. Fine route with some great views. Blue skies throughout. No mud. Very slow service at the characterful Lions. Overwhelmed by a surge of customers between 12-1. Some confused staff. Food passable. At least 2 took the short-cut. 1 got the 3.57. The rest probably all got the 4.57. Group cohesion 4/10. Thanks for scheduling this walk.
