'A Dash through the Woods at West
Wycombe' - 8.5 miles. Leader: John, email: 
This walk is described as quite energetic but nothing particularly steep
or strenuous, nonetheless, I assume no liability. It links three NT
properties and passes through woodland and open country, with fine
views. The final stretch, after lunch at Bradenham, is the best part, as
always. Meet in the car park adjoining the garden centre just at the
West End of West Wycombe. Turn right off the A40, below the golden ball
of the Dashwood Mausoleum, on the road to Bledlow Ridge and Chinnor,
signposted Hellfire Caves and Garden Centre. The free car park entrance
is on the left, several yards along a high flint wall. OS Map 172, GR SU826947.
Start time: 10.15. |

This time we walk backwards to “Ttarras”. A slight deviation from our

Boot pub for lunch. I will endeavour not to lead you astray this time
and for those who are that way inclined, we will be stopping off at the
Watercress Farm on the way back. Please meet at the Westwood Park
(free) car park which is off Chenies Ave, Little Chalfont, OS Map 172,

‘Cats and Maidens’ - 8 miles. Leader: Janice,

Some hills, but wonderful views, particularly from the pub where we stop
for lunch. Please meet at the green near Catslip, which is a small
village just off the A423 near Henley-on-Thames, OS Map 171, GR
SU709868. If you take the A4130 northwest from Henley, before you
reach Nettlebed you will see a signpost to Catslip on your right. Take
this road, which is very narrow; when you reach the houses, fork left
and follow the road to the open green, shown on the map as Crocker End.
Please spread out to park around the green/common area, without
inconveniencing the residents - there is plenty of space and it is less
intrusive if we are not all outside one house! Start time: 10.15.
