Walk from Princes Risborough to Great Missenden

Three of us from NW London WI were joined by two from N1 WI at Marylebone station to catch the train to Princes Risborough as the sun broke through the clouds and we all dusted off our sunglasses.  We had a lovely walk with panoramic views across the Chilterns and through beech woods.   The recent rains had left quite a lot of mud, through which we picked our way.  We stopped at the Gate Inn in Bryants’ Bottom for lunch and were able to sit outside in the sunshine.   After lunch, a couple of steep climbs, another couple of forests and we were back at Great Missenden before 5 for the train home, tired and satisfied after a good day’s walk.
