Trains return from Saunderton at xx:57.
Get a return to Little Kimble.
Lunch: The Pink and Lily 01494 489 857 (a pub favoured by Rupert Brooke in days gone by). An earlier option would be the Plough 01844 343 302
Tea: The Golden Cross is handy for the station.
Directions: here There are a couple of tricky bits where gps would be handy but here’s a tip for one of them…..
In the woods after lunch (Monkton Wood), keep to the track at the right hand edge – this track is not obvious on entry.

In w=dry weather, just n=3 walkers were up for what is one of my favourite short walks. We split at Redland End into 2 going to the Pink & Lily for lunch and 1 walking on to The Black Beauty Tea Room at the Horse Trust in Flowers Bottom, and improvising the route from there.
A long lunch at the Pink followed and we got to The Golden Cross with half an hour to spare before the 16.52 train, for cake/tea/beer (delete as appropriate).
Fine views from the wooded and not wooded ridges, no mud worth speaking off, interesting woods, great vistas down lonely U-shaped valleys, plenty of red kites to ogle at. Always a good walk.
