Overview

We descend through the woods to meet the river Chess and climb up to Latimer House. From there we take Chess Valley Way to the edge of Chesham. We climb up through Chesham Waterside before heading on to Botley and a lunch stop at Ley Hill by the cricket ground. After lunch, it's on to Flaunden (another climb) before making our way to Latimer and returning to the station via the woods. In general, not a hilly walk, but there are a couple of good climbs. Will be muddy if the temperature warms up!!
