January 27, 2023, Ivinghoe Beacon Circular

Surprisingly easy to get to (trains every 15 mins from Euston). Beautiful views. Paths were claggy , as mud mixed with Chiltern chalk will do that, but not impassable & better conditions than wetter mud. Views really worth it. I'm planning on doing other walks in the area - you could see other enticing paths leading away.

October 23, 2021, Vespucci Signature Hike: Bound for the Beacon

This is my absolute ‘go to’ walk! It really is different every time and only an hour away from London! Also a big plus for this particular route is it starts at Tring Train Station.

April 15, 2022, Red Cedar woods – Ivinghoe Beacon Loop from Little Gaddesden

A perfect loop with lambs, kite, wild garlic, bluebells hills and wonderful woods. Loved it
