Overview

We head off across Booker Common and over a couple of minor roads to enter the West Wycombe estate where the grouse shooting season is under way. We may see or hear evidence of this as we go through various woodland and farm land on our way to Wheeler End common. After passing through the village of Wheeler End and crossing the motorway we reach Lane End and join the group lunch at 13:00. After lunch we head east out of Lane End to Widdenton Park Wood where we are likely to hear the sound of gunfire coming from the nearby shooting range. Once through the wood we take the path around the perimeter of Wycombe Air Park where we will see a variety of light aircraft but we'll need to beware of low flying planes coming in to land over our heads. Then after a short stretch of road walking we return to the cars at Booker Common
