Flood warning. The Government website warns of flooding in and around Wendover. The area affected is more extensive this morning (Saturday) than it was yesterday. So although the rain has stopped, water levels have continued to rise. Both my intended route and my alternative are affected.

Overview

THERE IS CURRENTLY A FLOOD ALERT FOR PARTS OF WENDOVER/WESTON TURVILLE.

I WILL CHECK TOMORROW SAT 28th FOR LATEST INFO AND UPDATE THIS ENTRY IF NECESSARY.

The walk starts with a delightful section of the Wendover canal followed by a steady climb to the popular cafe in the woods where we'll stop for a picnic. Our gentle descent back to the canal is rewarded with fine views of the Vale of Aylesbury.  We'll visit the tranquil Weston Turville nature reserve before taking a direct route back to the tea-shops in Wendover. It has been very wet this week so good footwear is essential and a walking pole might be useful.

Bring a picnic.
