Walk Report
Sunlit Uplands of the Chilterns, Saturday 22nd June 201910 walkers, 21 miles – leader Bola Baruwa
Sunlit uplands (no unicorn)
of the Chilterns delivered!
10 walkers including the leader, Bola enjoyed a hilly 21 miles walk in the Chilterns from Leagrave to Harlington, Bedfordshire. Despite replacement bus, we arrived at Leagrave in good time.
The star attraction was Barton Hills National Nature Reserve, a downland and woodland with fantastic views, We also had the pleasure of visiting the source of the River Lea, Warden Hill, Lilley Hoo, Telegraph Hill, Pegsdon hills & Sharpenhoe Clappers. We had a glorious day, though was hotter than expected, hence couple of retirements.
The group had a 40 mins lunch stop in The Raven, Hexton. Hexton has a quirky village shop, namely, Country Matters with just about everything on sale and the all-important tea-room.
We arrived at Harlington station just after 5pm, followed by a short bus ride back to the hubbub at Luton station.
