14 km 8.9 miles, Difficulty 7 out of 10
This Chilterns walk, a shortened version of the Stonor circular, still has dramatic views.
Trains: Get the 09:43 Reading bound Elizabeth Line from Paddington (Ealing Broadway 9:51 ). Change at Twyford for the Henley train (arr 10:32 platform 3, dep 10:45 platform 5) arrive Henley 10:57.
Trains return at xx:00 and xx:30, changing again at Twyford, (the 00 is the better connection for the GWR train). Get a return to Henley-on-Thames. (Freedom Pass holders can travel free to Twyford and back- on the Elizabeth Line only - but will need a return ticket from there to Henley)
Lunch: The Rainbow in Middle Assendon (01491-574879).
Tea: The Chocolate Café (tel 01491 411 412) on Thameside (Henley’s waterfront) open weekends to 5pm. 5 minutes from the station.
Henley has more than its fair share of pubs for those in need of a restorative. The Angel is near the café.There's also a Wetherspoons
Walk Directions: available here. We are doing the shorter version that heads left for Bix Bottom after the Rainbow (paragraph 22).

N=7 on a day that was w=cloudy-and-dry-all-day This despite a drizzly gloomy start to the day that probably deterred a few. Like for instance the walk poster. The Rainbow was a hit with 6 eating there. As was the Chocolate Cafe later. According to sources, the walk was enjoyed and autumn colour was experienced.
