Chilterns and Thames Valley

In drifting snow

Distance: 5.25 miles
Ascent: 155 metres
Duration: 1 hour 35 minutes

Walk 10: Aston Hill and Drayton Beauchamp

It's nearly April and we've not logged a single walk yet this year. Time to remedy that.

It's nearly April, and within half an hour of starting today's walk we were ankle-deep in snow drifts in south-east England.

These two facts are clearly related.

Walking has also taken a back seat due to an ill-advised bit of DIY leading to discomfort in my back and leg. I'm on the mend now, and today's stroll up and down a Chiltern Hill, followed by a mile or two alongside a disused canal was the perfect reintroduction to getting outdoors.
