A small group of 10 of us started from the revised starting point of Cookham Moor car park. It was a warm morning but with a gentle breeze at times. We had an easy climb from Cookham Moor towards Winter Hill. We crossed the golf course and saw many golfers also enjoying the warm weather. The walk continued along Winter hill with the glorious views over the Thames Valley towards Flackwell Heath and Marlow. We made a gradual decent down Winter Hill to the River Thames and had our break under the shade of a tree on the riverbank. We continued along the river past The Bounty and then over the bridge to Bourne End. We continued along the river towards Spade Oak, then turned around and walked back to the railway bridge. (This was due to the revised starting point.) The walk along the river to Cookham was beautiful with many walkers out doing a similar walk to the one we were doing. We were fortunate enough to see the swan with six cygnets, now quite large. The weather towards the end of the walk was getting warmer so we were pleased to get to the carpark. It was a gentle but beautiful walk, just right for the warm weather.
