There were 11 of us in the party
and the weather was quite good although cooler than of late. The sun even came out during our ascent of Ivinghoe Beacon, which enhanced the views.
Best wishes,
Jane

I attach photographs taken on Wednesday's 12 mile walk from Tring to Berkhamstead led by Pat Hully from which to make a selection for your blog.

Tring to Berkhamsted
On Sunday Maija Roberts led eight Hampstead members on a 10 mile walk from Tring to Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire.
The weather was showery to start with but improved gradually through the day.
Wood Anemone was in bloom.
The walk covered some hilly terrain...
We stopped for a quick cuppa by the canal at the strangely named Cow Roast.
Apparently the area was originally called Cow Rest, and was in fact a staging post for the cattle drovers coming down from the Midlands to the London markets.
Cattle were not the only animals around- we passed a llama farm en route...
The high point (literally) was at the Bridgewater Monument just above Aldbury...
We all made it to the station a couple of minutes before the train. Many thanks to Maija for an enjoyable walk in some varied terrain.

Tring Circular around the Ashridge Estate.
Jane Rosoux writes.....
"I attach the photographs I took on Saturday's Hampstead Ramblers' walk from Tring mainly along the Ashridge Estate Boundary Trail.
Although the weather was cloudier and chillier than forecast it was quite pleasant - dry with some sunny spells. A party of 10 started out from Tring Station around 10.10 am...
...and, upon reaching the Ashridge Visitor Centre near the Bridgewater Monument, we set off anticlockwise along the Boundary Trail, which had been established in 1995 to celebrate the National Trust's Centenary.
The waymarking was generous....
The going underfoot was good and the route took us through attractive woodland, farmland and chalk downland with good views...
...The day concluded when 7 of us continued up to Gallows Hill and Ivinghoe Beacon
where the views were enhanced by the late afternoon sun and as we followed The Ridgeway Path back to Tring Station we had glimpses of a fine sunset through the trees...
We just made the 5.56 train back to London with 2 minutes to spare! All present were very pleased with the 18 mile Boundary Trail and would be happy to do it again, perhaps in late autumn when the leaves are turning."
Thank You Jane.
