“Croxley Green, Common Moor and the Canal”,  3.25 miles. Leader: Janice. email:
Discover a local area you may never have visited! Easy walking through woods, along an old railway line and across a nature reserve. No Stiles. Some gravelly paths, one gentle hill and one brief (20 yards) steepish slope, which we can help each other up!

“Sarratt and the Chess Valley”, Approx. 4 miles. Leader: Sydney.
Meet in the car park of The Boot, overlooking Sarratt Green, for a 10.30 start. This lovely walk takes you past the ancient parish church and down the valley to meet and cross the River Chess. Following a short traverse of the opposite hillside, you recross the river and make your way back to The Boot for lunch. Although there are seven stiles of varying height along the route and two moderately steep hills to climb, the views should prove rewarding. Parking is either in The Boot’s own car park or alongside the Green. Please let Sydney know if you will be staying to lunch.
