NOTE! The chef at the pub in Chalfont St Giles has broken her leg so only sandwiches will be available if you take the pub lunch option. The usual selection are available (only white bread I'm afraid and only cold fillings including egg mayo, tuna, ham, cheese, bacon, sausage) so please think about what you'd like and let me know on the morning of the walk. I will phone our order through before we arrive, to speed up the process.

Walk Report
Chess, Misbourne and Colne Valley Explorer, Sunday 24th May 201519 walkers, 20 miles - leader Adam Dawson
An unusually interesting walk which started with an unexpected encounter with Batman at Rickmansworth station (on his way to a Super Heroes convention, apparently) and included a trip to a bit of Portugal hidden away in the Chalfonts - at the famous Madeiran custard tart shop in Chalfont St Peter. On the way, we explored three valleys, dodged the rain, and had a picnic. And the diversion at the end to avoid the sewage works had the additional benefit of leading to a lakeside cafe - a perfect end to a great day out, with Rickmansworth and environs looking their Spring finest.
