Date: Wednesday 10th December 2025, Distance : 6.8 miles, Leader : Alan Marsh

Twelve ramblers joined the leader on a dry and occasionally sunny  day to walk from Great Hampden towards the church then right along an avenue and fields to a large oak tree then left down to the road and up to Honor End Farm. Past the monument to John Hampden - who in the opinion of the walkers was either a champion of liberty and democracy or a tax avoider or even unknown! To Hotley Bottom and up to Cobblers’ Hill then taking the Chiltern Way back to Hampden House, the church and the start after just three hours. We saw a hare racing across a field and a rainbow after an unforecast short sharp shower! Hills, good far-reaching views and good company!
