difficulty 5/10 15.7km 9.8 miles
A classic Chilterns walk with sloping fields, beech woods, three steep bits (one avoidable), fine views and (maybe, just maybe) autumn colour.
Trains: get the 09:42 Oxford train from Marylebone, arriving Princes Risborough at 10:25
Return from Great Missenden at xx:03 and xx:33
A return to Aylesbury ("any route permitted") covers both journeys
Lunch: is at the Gate in Bryants Bottom 01494 488 632 The later Polecat in Prestwood, is another possibility.
Tea: The George Ale House is recommended - real ale, cider, all that. Nearer the station you'll find the Cross Keys. There's also Matilda's for those that prefer tea. but it closes at 4 Sundays.
Directions: here T=1.45

Just n=1 Once the disappointment and tears had subsided, Billy-no-mates set off. It wasn’t all bad. At least he had someone interesting to talk to. Someone who wouldn’t talk back.
The day was w=mostly-cloudy Occasional glimpses of the sun helped brighten Billy’s countenance. No autumn to speak of yet. The trees seem to have deferred their decision. Maybe they’re still making up for lost time. That didn’t stop them showering beech nuts every time the wind blew.
A quick visit to the Gate, then off again .
After some tough climbs - and more woods, time for an eagerly anticipated visit to the George , reached at 3:30. Not quite the same with no mates to talk to. But that’s Billy for you.
