Overview
This is pleasant undulating walk in the Chilterns taking the direct route to Combe Hill from Chequers described in Section 30, (when you have completed this section jump to section 44)
You may shorten the walk further to 7.8 miles by not detouring to The Swan pub at Smokey Row and instead opting for lunch at the Plough.
However this walk is posted for those who prefer a more leisurely pace and I would recommend you choose the Swan Pub.
In the afternoon, the walk passes Chequers bristling with cameras before heading to Combe hill and the Boer War Monument there. The final leg is a gentle decent into Wendover
