We improvised the given route a bit to see more of the clearings and the hay meadows and tree-lined avenues on expense of some of the wooded stretches. <br />Got to The Cock Inn just before 9 and also just in time to place food orders: very tasty stuff in nice surroundings. Only negative: despite 4 hand pumps only one ale and that was out by the time the walk creator arrived. <br />Also some 'Luxury Apartments' development by the Middlesex Uni buildings in the first third of the route...Thomas Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01298846868417688062noreply@blogger.com
