A day out, back on the big circular route, by fields and forests (and Duke of Edinburgh’s Award groups) across the wonderful Chiltern Hills from Hemel Hempstead to Chalfont St Giles, touching three valleys: Bulbourne, Chess and Misbourne.

Across the top of London
From Enfield to Harrow Weald Common on the London Loop route in two consecutive mornings, about 40km when measured from and to home. Two warm mornings with some surprise changes from the last time I was through the area.
Epping Forest and the Lee Valley
The anticlockwise Loop crosses Epping Forest and descends to the Lee Valley through areas of deterrence and landscape disimprovement, and (better news!) passing through the area of Enfield Wash with the re-wiggled Turkey Brook.
Havering-atte-Bower and Chigwell
The London Loop (widdershins) from Noak Hill to the Central Line. in which, since the last time I was through, we have lost a pub but gained a snackbar. This prompted an overhaul of route-notes, and the establishment of a gazetteer of transport and food opportunities.
Spring in the Chilterns
An excellent spring day out in the Chilterns, back on the circumcardinal route — the stretch from Flamstead to Hemel Hempstead.
