Walked — May 2019
This route actually crosses the Hertfordshire Way at South Mimms, but the route continues to the rail and bus stations in Hatfield, for ease of connections. After heading north to Finsbury Park, the route shifts west through Highgate Woods and Hampstead Garden Suburb to pick up the Dollis Valley, then pressing on north beyond Barnet via South Mimms. The total distance is a little over 46km, but with transport links, it will come out to around 50km, with about 455m ascent.
