Walk Report

Chiltern Circular, Saturday 3rd August 2019
18 walkers, 21 miles - leader Nigel Heys
Eighteen people left Chorleywood around 9am and crossed the first main road to pass Chenies Manor. They then went down to the River Chess and followed the Chess Valley Way to Latimer. They then climbed up through a wood and along the ridge before dropping down to Old Amersham and a break in the attractive Memorial Gardens (see picture). Two stayed to sample the town while the rest continued along the Misbourne valley to Little Missenden. They then climbed up to Penn Wood and stopped for lunch by the cricket pitch in Penn Street. Despite the match starting and the Squirrel having six real ales the group managed to walk the Chiltern Way back to Chorleywood in the afternoon. The bull encountered paid little attention to the group. The afternoon stop was in Chalfont St. Giles churchyard.
