A full day, starting at Marlow Common

As David and Alison are joining The Bottom Line on New Years Day at The Dog and Badger, we thought it might be good  to practice together before the event and arranged it for early Saturday afternoon. That just about gave the four of us time or a decent-length walk nearby.

I choose one just under 7 miles long, heading North from Marlow Common from The Handbook of Chiltern Hill Walks that we've had for ages - some of the walks are annotated with 1987 dates. It's not actually a great book - the descriptions are sometimes hard to follow and not much effort was spent on design. However, it certainly has hills.

After a 'shall we, shan't we' conversation prompted by some sleet, we went ahead ahead and had a lovely walk, albeit with some gratuitous ascent and descent.

We got back in time for an excellent practice. It was clearly a long day because I fell asleep sitting up in an armchair in the evening.
