Overview

A moderate walk with some steep hills. We will stop for coffee / snack / portaloo at Buckmoorend Farm Shop at 11am and can order hot food on the way if desired. We walk up to Coombe Hill and see the view over Beacon Hill. We turn, South East along to Dunsmore, Little Hampden and stop for a packed lunch near woods with a good view toward Great Hampden. After lunch, we will go on to Hampden House before continuing back to Whiteleaf Cross.

Edit: After the previous day's rain, you may like to bring your walking poles as the chalky slope down to the Plough at Cadsden will be slippery after the recent rain, however we will be avoiding the steepest slopes in the area this time.
