At least #13 turned out today on a #fine-sunny-day. Group cohesion nvg. I think two or three lunched in the Red Lion while two pressed on and the rest of us picknicked at the baptist church. Three went elderflower picking and I didn't see them again. After a leisurely lunch in the sun, the remaining group went slightly off piste in the wood after Chenies (actually we followed the way to Chalfont & Latimer by mistake) but found the way back to the route and, after a further mini-split, regrouped on the 4pm tube from Chesham. Thanks for posting a very nice walk for a summer's day.
