A walk
through gently rolling wooded hills in Buckinghamshire, it passes the cottage
of the poet John Milton in Chalfont St Giles, as well as Jordans, a hamlet with
Quaker links. Apparently a stile free walk.

12 of us met on the platform of Beaconsfield station, and 1 joined us later in the walk so #13 in all. Three walkers soon peeled off and I assume did a variation of the walk. The weather was #cloudy-and-warm and there was quite a bit of tarmac in the section after lunch so not too muddy. It was a very nice walk in the morning through woods and fields. Four of us had lunch in Chalfont St Giles in Merlins Cave joined by 3 others who had drinks. We became a bit dispersed after lunch, and met 4 other walkers en route who were catching the train at Jordans Seer Green station. The section through the Quaker village was interesting. Two of us had tea in Costa and 4 in Gails, in Beaconsfield and then met up to walk to the station and caught the 5.04 train. An incident on the train (non fare payers) delayed us a bit, but there was much jollity and chatter in our carriage despite this.
