Walk Report

The Beeches Way, Sunday 14th November 2021
5 walkers, 17.8 miles - leader Godfrey O'Callaghan
A compact group of walkers enjoyed an autumn passage of some splendour as they passed through this part of Buckinghamshire. Burnham Beeches, Stoke Common, Black Park and Langley Park were key points of interest but with colour on all sides for most of the walk there was plenty to please the eye. Indeed, at times, in deeper woodland the scene was more one of fire. And don't you just like this time of year with the rustle of leaves underfoot, the musky fragrances of autumn and the cool air on the face. We did not forget what day it was and stood two minutes at 11 o'clock - a distant gun providing the time marker.
