Crossing Chiltern Ridges and Commons, Saturday 19th March 202211 walkers, 22 miles - leader Jerome Ripp
A glorious sunny day, a super group of keen strong walkers who took it all in their stride. A group of ridges to the north west of Amersham, Chartridge, Ashridge, Hawridge with descents into the valley bottoms. Woodlands and isolated farms, yet only a few miles from the end of the Metropolitan line as the photo shows. Lunch on Cholesbury Common followed by a tour of the substantial fort area. Some muddy places mainly around gates but lots of dry tracks and amazing views. We met only a handful of other walkers and runners, how strange on such a lovely day to herald the start of spring.
