Today I set off on a five mile circular walk that starts from the house. Turning left down Baker's Walk and then right down Church Lane before another left down Church Walk. The flood halfway down where the road crosses Wendover Brook is not as bad as it was.
At the end of Church Walk is the church of St Mary the Virgin.
At the end of the churchyard is a wonderful view of the Chilterns.
The field is muddy but passable. At the end of this field is a style that takes you to a much larger field.
A long muddy path arrives at the Wendover Arm of the Grand Union Canal. Following it's upgrade, the canal path is fine. It arrives at Halton and that is where I follow the road as it loops around the playing fields of RAF Halton. Today there was a major event being set up on the cricket field. No cricket hasq been played there for years.
Arriving at one of the paths that follows Wendover Brook to the reservoir, I saw that the brook was now full of growth, it having been cleared earlier in the year.
At the end of this path is Weston Turville Reservoir. The Chiltern Hills in the distance are as grey as the weather.
Onto Worlds End Lane, a walk into Weston Turville and a loop around the village gets me to the five miles. For some reason my legs were far better in the last couple of miles and I managed to get up a decent pace. Where did that come from? What I like about this walk is that as well as circular, all the sections are very different.
