N=9 on w=fine_sunny_day followed this lovely route to Berkhamsted through a varying landscape of woods and valleys on good paths with sticky but not deep mud and quiet lanes, stopping at the pub where four had lunch and five a picnic followed by a quick drink before continuing the walk and catching the 15.28 train to London grateful to the walk author whom we left in the pub celebrating his birthday.

Very minor correction to Wanderer's report: Elsa D is the walk author of this lovely walk - I just helped her with the Directions write-up.
