Denham to Princes Risborough (43.09km; 670m ascent)
From Denham to Princes Risborough, the route finds itself in the Chiltern Hills. From Denham, there is a very short stage alongside the track to the quaint little station of Denham Golf Club, then a climb out of the Misbourne valley to Gerrards Cross — avoiding what might seem the obvious route to the north, because it’s too far on a twisty little road with no footpath, and also because there are facilities at Tatling End.
Beyond the suburbia of Gerrards Cross, the route takes on a much more rural aspect, with only the small settlements of Jordans (important in Quaker history and the resting-place of William Penn, no matter how many times Pennsylvanians try to steal the body) and Seer Green, before a short burst of suburbia in Beaconsfield.
The route then returns to the high ground before descending to the River Wye at Loudwater; it then follows the valley up to High Wycombe. Beyond High Wycombe, the route returns to the hills to Saunderton, then the smaller hills carry the route to Princes Risborough.
