This is a 4 mile walk mostly along the Wendover canal. This interesting section of canal is non-navigable so has been reclaimed by nature. We should see plenty of bird life, & if we’re lucky baby ducks & swans so fingers crossed. After the walk we can stop for a drink at the Red Lion pub in Wendover.

We meet in the Library car park HP22 6DU in Wendover. If you come in from Aston Clinton through Halton and into the High Street, the car park is on the left.

Dogs are welcome as always but please be mindful to keep them on leads for roads and around other animals.

If you are unable to attend please be sure to change your RSVP otherwise our departure will be delayed. Malcolm’s contact number is 07899 287785

We can meet in the little car park in front of the church but there are other parking spots around the Common. The address for the local cafe is 10 The Common, Chipperfield, Kings Langley WD4 9BS which is just past the church.

This 6.43 mile walk should take not much more than 2.5 hours. We head out through Chipperfield Common then proceed westward to Bucks Hill before walking along pathways through fields to Church End. We turn back through Sarratt Bottom and the outskirts of Sarratt and back through Belsize before returning to Chipperfield where we can pop into Blackwell's cafe for drinks and snacks.

Please note that this walk is not led by a qualified leader and, as such, isn't covered by insurance. Be sure to wear suitable boots and clothing. The organiser cannot be held responsible for any injuries, however caused. Members are expected to take responsibility for their own preparation and safety including adequate fluids, weather protection and a snack. Please be sure to make me aware if you have any medical conditions.

This is a 6 mile walk that takes us from Flaunden along tha Chiltern Way across fields & woodland & down to the river Chess, we cross the river at the ford next to the Watercress Beds and make our way up to view the gardens of Chenies Manor. We then walk through woodlands high above the Chess Valley before crossing back over the river at the weir & on to the village of Latimer. Passing through the village woodland paths will take us back to Flaunden where the hospitality of The Green Dragon pub can be enjoyed.

Please use the Google maps link above to find the car park where there is plenty of free parking.

This walk will be led by Malcolm, there will be 3 walk options which are detailed below, when you RSVP please indicate in the comments section the option you are booking for, of course you can change your mind at anytime just please update your choice. While we will sometimes be on familiar paths I’m sure we will show you some new ones as well.

Option 1, a morning walk of approx. 6.5 miles following the normal format starting at 10.30am.
Option 2, an afternoon walk of approx. 5.5 miles starting at around 1.45pm (depending on the speed of the morning walk & how busy the cafe is).
Option 3, a full days walk of approx. 12 miles combing both of the above.
There will be ample time for lunch at the cafe.

Option 1
We leave Aldbury along Stocks Road then cross fields & grasslands before entering the woods for a short climb onto the Ridgeway which we follow for about a mile. We then make our way down across fields and a short section of road to pick up the canal towpath towards Tring, we make our way past the station and onto the Hertfordshire Way and back to the Church Farm Cafe for lunch or drinks.
You can join the afternoon walk from either the cafe or the Greyhound pub.
Option 2
The afternoon begins with one of the more gentle climbs up into Ashridge through the woods of Aldbury Common to pick up the Icknield Way Trail. Then a short section of the Chiltern Way leads us into Thunderdell Woods and on to criss cross our way across the golf course towards Ivinghoe Common, carrying on through the woods we pick up a short section of Duncombe Terrace before taking a seldom used path back down to Aldbury where the Greyhound pub awaits.

There is some parking in front of the pub but there is much more space along Trooper Road which is opposite Stocks Road. The full address for the pub is Greyhound Inn, Stocks Rd, Aldbury, Tring HP23 5RT. The full address of the cafe is Church Farm Cafe, Station Road, Aldbury, HP23 5RS.
