Walk Report
MBFYB (Reading Circular), Saturday 22nd January 20229 walkers, 21.5 miles - leader Jerome Ripp
The morning was spent north of the river on the Chiltern Way, a break at Mapledurham church, a stiff climb up Straw Hill to see one of the classic Thames views, a long stretch of relatively mud-free wooded hillsides and al fresco lunch on the steep slopes above Hatton Hill with another great Thames view. The afternoon was on the Thames Path east to Whitchurch church then south of the river to follow through Tilehurst and return. Good to see a few new people, we were fortunate with decent weather if a touch grey and when we returned to Reading station just after 5pm one of the Regulars commented that on this walk it was definitely "More Bang For Your Buck"
