The Frog in Skirmett was reached at 13.15 by all but 1 very fast walker, and a table inside was chosen over yet more sun exposure out in the lovely garden. Good food, quickly enough served, in very pleasant surroundings.<br />1 enthusiast added the excursion up the hill to the windmill by Turville to the route, all else sped on along the long version of the walk, which includes Stonor Park. The enthusiast nearly caught the main group again, in Stonor Park, but got sucked in by the promise of tea and ice cream to divert to the new cafe by the visitor centre.<br />Said extension is fairly hilly, but also very scenic, with splendid views of Stonor House and its ancient stone circle, and up Stonor Valley, and later across the Thames Valley. <br />On the home straight along the Thames one could admire the extensive prep works for the Henley Regatta in 2 weeks time. <br />18.17 train for some, The Angel pub for others.<br />Thomas Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01298846868417688062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665817.post-83743135835169002742017-06-13T17:52:13.172+01:002017-06-13T17:52:13.172+01:00I'm thinking of getting a bus at the start, ho...I'm thinking of getting a bus at the start, hoping to meet up in Hambledon. The plan is to get the 1018 from Ealing Broadway (1011 Paddington) arr Henley 1119. The 800 leaves Norman Avenue near the station at 1145, arriving Mill End 1200.PeteGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07558203384025520242noreply@blogger.com
