Forecast heavy rain and gale force winds will make walking in the area hazardous.
We are the West London Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This varied walk takes in lovely autumnal colours in the beechwoods of Wendover woods. The start follows 'The Ridgeway' path. We later skirt passed an ironage hillfort; reach the highest point in the Chilterns; see beautiful views across Aylesbury Vale; pass through a peaceful churchyard with many WW2 RAF memorial graves, concluding with the tranquil Wendover Arm of the GU Canal. There are 2 steady, long climbs in the first half, but paths and tracks are mostly well defined and of a good standard, although there is one fairly steep, narrow, uneven descent. Some small areas could be muddy following wet weather. A cafe will be available at lunchtime at our summit point, although best to bring a picnic and have drinks inside the cafe as it is a popular spot.
Toilets available at Wendover Station, lunch cafe and Wendover town.
Walking poles may be helpful on uneven descent.
