The known weaknesses of this walk are the road-heavy beginning, some arable field crossings (fine today though after the dry weather we have had) and the a-touch-too-long stretches of grassy fields and then the canalside path into the sprawling Aylesbury. Despite that, all agreed that the splendour of the rest of the walk (fine far Chiltern views, pretty villages, plenty of streams) and the excellent lunch pub in Hardwick made this a very worthwhile day out. <br />One veteran SWC walker had chosen this as his first walk back with the SWC after several years off our group walks, he seemed happy enough.
