We indeed walked Shortcut I, by-passing Pulloxhill, to ensure we could lunch at The Chequers in Westoning, rumoured to be a nice gastro-pub. As we arrived, there was nobody at the tables, but the bar was crowded, so we were sceptical. But it turned out to be very nice indeed. Competent roasts (I was assured by the other two), an interesting menu, quick and friendly service and a choice of good beers. <br />On to Steppingley for tea at the marvellous The French Horn, and then through Flitwick Wood to the station. No views due to the fog, but still a good day out, especially in the morning on freshly snow-covered ground.

Quite muddy underfoot in places. After climbing out of Harlington, up to the Ickneild Way, the circular 1 (who by this time was on his own) looked round and noticed that what had been mist was now fog. Having gone adrift in the area once before and being averse to doing so again in worsening visibility, he thought “sod this” and retraced his steps to the station. Hardly the Cairngorms but hey. The Flitwick 3 will have to report separately.
