Overview

NB Starting time is 10.30, not 11.00 as stated in the October newsletter

A circular walk to work up an appetite, aimed at those coming to the Christmas lunch at the Red Lion but all are welcome.  Mostly on level ground once we're out of Radlett, taking in woods and open country, with one or two main roads to cross or follow for short distances.  The route crosses the top of Colney Street and returns east of the Ver.
