An undulating (1500ft ascent) circular walk starting from Great Offley, Hertfordshire. Park in the High Street near St Mary Magdalen church, or respectfully in nearby residential roads - Salusbury Lane, Gosling Avenue, Clarion Close and meet at the junction of High Street and Salusbury Lane.

We follow the North Chiltern Trail, Hertfordshire section, anticlockwise through Mangrove Green, Breachwood Green, Peters Green, Whitwell, St Pauls Walden, Chapelfoot, Preston and back to Great Offley. Morning break at Breachwood Green, lunch at St Pauls Walden - pub for drinks only. Afternoon stops tbc. There are sections of walking on minor roads. Dogs are welcome on short leads please as some fields have livestock. Bring enough food and plenty of water for the day

General Notes
This is the first part of a trail that Chris Burns wanted to do, she had the ‘guide book’ but unfortunately, she ran out of time to get it done. We are working from that guidebook and hope that you will all remember Chris's enthusiasm & humour when you walk with us today. Part 2, the Bedfordshire section, will be walked on another day in September. Please let Terry know if you're planning to come on this walk.
