Once again, the weather was much better than forecasted: w=mostly-sunny-and-very-mild, with no wind and no rain, and considerably warmer than of late; in fact, very pleasant walking conditions.<br />The mud was as forecasted, though: lots of it all day. Between Colsehill and Winchmore Hill the mud was unrelenting and hard work to get through, but later, in Penn Wood and along Toby's Lane, where I was expecting heavy duty mud and flooded paths, the conditions were not at all bad. We made Little Missenden in good time for our booking at the Red Lion, where six of us enjoyed a good, inexpensive lunch, served with a smile. <br />There was excitement in the village by the time of our arrival as a rare hawfinch had been spotted near the church, and twitchers with bins and telephoto lenses had descended in their numbers. Our sandwichers, on entering the churchyard to enjoy their picnics, probably disturbed the twitchers, and said hawfinch if it was still there, but the twitchers had a good opportunity to take plenty of pictures of our sandwichers, who gamely posed for them. <br />Excitement over, it was still sunny as we set out on the short afternoon leg of the walk, which was both pleasant and uneventful. On reaching Great Miss tea was taken by us "twits" in the so-named cafe, whilst two stopped for a tincture at the Cross Keys. Most of us were then on the 16-32 hrs train having enjoyed a good day's walking in the Chilterns, in excellent company. <br /> Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14896105028157686446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665817.post-58894926337873913232018-01-10T00:22:54.133+00:002018-01-10T00:22:54.133+00:00Sorry guys can't make the walk house emergency...Sorry guys can't make the walk house emergency.
