I expected more to take this last opportunity for a longer walk before the lights get turned off for five months. Perhaps others came on a later train.<br /><br />The recommended lunch stop, the Prince of Wales pub in Ampthill, turned out to be shut and empty inside, without any explanatory sign. Small pools of light in the dark showed that there was power to the lager taps and fridges and it was by no means boarded up. We doubled back to the White Hart, which has a slightly chain feel, but served decent food quickly. One of the three took the 1630 back to London; the others made the 1700, detained by tea and cake in a branch of Costa visible just beyond the station and open until 1700.<br /><br />There are some passages in this walk that have good views across the countryside, interspersed with others that are less memorable.David Colvernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665817.post-77253189767465279122018-10-26T20:04:53.378+01:002018-10-26T20:04:53.378+01:00The best train appears to be:
