Overview

A pleasant brisk and undulating, circular rural walk in the Chilterns taking in part of the Chiltern Link walk and Asheridge, with a variety of farmland and woodland tracks (with possible muddy sections). Weather permitting we will build in a couple of short stops for anyone wanting to capture the autumnal scene in pen, pencil or more colourful medium. Just come with an open mind, bring a small notebook and give it a go. 

Bring a picnic lunch to eat in front of The Blue Ball pub in Asheridge, when there will be time to have a drink only. There are toilets at Chesham Station as well as at the pub.

There are some stiles and some fairly steep but short ups and downs.

We will end in a pub close to the station in Chesham for anyone wanting to discuss their day's artistic journey!
