Overview

We venture into lesser known territory for this Thursday walk. Starting at Whiteleaf (Cross) car park above Princes Risborough (check precise location on a map) we will walk a strenuous circuit along the escarpment including Whiteleaf Cross, Pulpit Hill and Coombe Hill. Then loop back via Dunsmore and the Hampdens to Princes Risborough. A varied walk with many points of interest, lots of hills and wonderful views. Please bring a picnic lunch. 1980 ft of ascent.
