Field work and kitchen avoidance from Great Missenden

Our kitchen fitter was working hard (and loudly), so we were pleased to get up to sunshine. So, after hearing about some of the challenges of kitchen installation, and even resolving some of them, we set off for Great Missenden.
If you hadn't heard:

(a) the people in this area are not chuffed that the HS2 line will pass close by
(b) Rosie is working with communities on the impact of the line in Buckinghamshire

This walk therefore involved a little field-work. On the map below:
  • the purple will be a cutting
  • the green will be a 'green tunnel' (AKA a 'cut-and-cover' tunnel)
  • the yellow will be a bored tunnel that starts in the Colne Valley just East of Chalfont St Peter
The cutting will go through the landscape behind Rosie in the picture on the right.

The route took in Little Missenden, which is a pretty village with a pretty church, but also with a lot of road noise from the nearby A413.

We also passed through Little Kingshill, but not without stopping for excellent drinks and sandwiches at The Full Moon. Highly recommended.
