Strenuous walk due to its length, hills and mostly at moderately brisk pace.
15 miles. 570M ascent.
Less accute ascents and descents than my recent strenuous walks from The Plough at Cadsden or Coombe Hill but similar overall ascent strung over a longer distance.
We will pass the disused quarries, ascend steeply through the wood of Oakley Hill nature reserve,
experience some contours of High Wood, Crowell Wood, Venus Wood, Sunley Wood, Chinnor Hill and Wain Hill. We'll take the Ridgeway Path to Lodge Hill where we will take a break (please bring a packed lunch).
After lunch we will turn South to Routs Green and take the Chiltern Way to Bledlow and stop at the Lions of Bledlow for some refreshment after the penultimate mile before completing the last one at a leisurely pace.
Well behaved dogs are allowed.
