Overview

A figure of eight walk involving two steady climbs, on open chalk downland and through a wooded coombe. We will take the climbs at a steady and leisurely pace. Generally good paths but there is one section that is muddy, but easily passable. Excellent views, weather permitting. Bring refreshments for one short break which we will aim to have on Ivinghoe Beacon.
