A Chiltern circular favourite : Turville Heath, Fingest and Ibstone

Thank you Stephen for leading a delightful walk yesterday. Thank you Andy for a perfect choice - sorry you weren't able to be with us. Although we started out in low cloud, this soon burnt off and we finished in glorious sunshine sipping our cups of tea at the cafe on Turville Heath. The pub was splendid & we were well looked after. Lovely.
