Join the Chiltern Young Walkers for a linear walk from Rickmansworth to Chesham following both the Hillingdon Trail and Grand Union Canal. This will be the second of a 2-part walk which goes from Chesham to Uxbridge with the option of finishing or joining at Rickmansworth.
Please note that due to the nature of it being a 2-part walk, there will be limited scope for us to be able to wait for anyone who is running late.
This walk is relatively flat and will likely be slightly faster paced than usual, but do not let that put you off and please drop me a message should you have any concerns or queries before joining.
The walk follows the Hillingdon Trail from Rickmansworth and joins the Grand Union Canal which will take us in to Uxbridge.
This walk will finish in Uxbridge where there will be the option of heading to a pub after.
Appropriate hiking footwear and trousers (e.g. not jeans) are recommended. As are waterproofs, in case the needarise.
Dogs are welcome, however we ask owners to make sure they are kept on their leads at all times and are well behaved.
Travel wise:
It is up to you where you decide to park. Chesham, Rickmansworth and Uxbridge are all on the Metropolitan line and therefore you can either park at, or near, your chosen finish location (Rickmansworth or Uxbridge) and get the train to the start point or park at the start (Chesham) and get the train back after.
