Eleven of us set off briskly from Piddington on a cold grey morning hoping there wouldn't be too much mud and preferably no rain. We were lucky on both counts! We were aiming for Wheeler End Common via Barn Wood. We crossed the Common to Denham Wood, noting the bluebells poking through the wood floor and I was remembering what a wonderful sight the bluebells are in that location in early Spring. We then passed through Great Wood and along to Toweridge. From here we could look across the A40 valley to West Wycombe Church and mausoleum. Passing down the side of West Wycombe Park, viewing the house and grounds, we crossed the A40 to climb up the other side of the valley to Cockshoots Wood. We then tackled the steep descent to Ham Farm and our cars parked in the lay-by.
