Despite recent heavy rain the potentially dubious river crossing was perfectly navigable and the ground was generally firm enough under foot to be able to look UP and enjoy the stunning views.<br /><br />6 scampered off on the extension to Brill (where lunch at the The Pointer was apparently very good). The remaining group headed to Ashendon, where 2 had a picnic at the church, and the rest devoured a delicious lunch at The Hundred of Ashendon Inn. The food was so good most of us opted for dessert before our afternoon of admiring even more beautiful views.<br /><br />The Rising Sun (en-route ro the station) was the pub of choice for post walk drinks. The majority reached it well before sunset, then we all had a bit of a mad-dash for the 17:38 train back to London.<br /><br />Thanks for a fab day everyone!
