On a warm but cloudy morning, 9 ramblers and two dogs met at Ibstone Common for a hilly Chiltern walk.  After passing Ibstone church, we headed down the valley to Turville and then climbed the steep hill to Turville Heath and the Barn.  While resting at the top of the hill, 6 riders appeared who asked us to open the gate so they could be on their way.  On reaching the Barn, we had a short break for coffee/drinks/ice creams.  The horses and their riders were also there.  The horses were unsaddled and munching grass.  From the Barn, we had another down and up to reach Ibstone Common.
