Overview

This is a hilly walk. We head south towards Towerage Lane and Booker Common for banana break. Then do some plane spotting as we walk along the edge of Booker Airfield. We move on to Lane End for lunch (please bring sandwiches) and pub stop. The tables outside the pub are on common land. The return is via Wheeler End Common, the edge of Piddington and Butlers Hanging nature reserve.
