Overview

We walk through a meadow with lovely views, and up to the Ridgeway Path, then pass The Crong to Bittams Wood in Dancers End Nature Reserve and through the reserve where there will be orchids. We then amble along some pleasant paths and quiet roads then back along the Ridgeway, and back to The Hale. There are some moderate hills. It is a lovely route, especially if we get some evening sunshine, which would also be good for photographs. There could be docile cows on part of the route.

All are welcome to get a takeaway when we are back in Wendover. (Suggest from the George & Dragon for Thai Cuisine) https://georgeanddragonwendover.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Take-Away-Menu.pdf 

or:  for alternative options:  https://wendovergrillandkebabs.co.uk/

(Or alternatively, you could bring your own packed meal).

Well behaved dogs allowed. Need to be on lead in reserve and well managed when we are eating.
