Anyone fancy a walk on Saturday?

[Rebel Kay]

Both Tom and Becca were peeved at not being allowed to do the Romulus walk and have had the stupid idea of walking to Chesham

 

From SYCOB its only 8.5 miles but on a dodgy road, from Wexham Park its just short of 14 miles but on safer roads.

 

Given that Chesham is now the last away game (and as someone pointed out last night, we needn't have bothered with the Romulus walk - thanks for that), does anyone fancy it? Polite answers only please.

Well I'd love to do it, darling, but obviously I need to look after Alfie & Scarlett if the other two are going to walk it with you

[Rebel Kay]

I never said I was going to do it. I said they wanted to, did anyone else.

[A Rebel and a Saint]

I could be tempted if a group of Rebels were to walk!

[Radders]

Had already decided that I was going to do this (ask Marcus, I told him BEFORE we even got to Hitchin)!!!

 

So I'm there whatever!!!

[Rebel Kay]

Cool, Just need to decide which route then and timing etc.

 

Any other takers?

[Mark44]

Yup I think I may be able to do it depending on certain prior engagements

I have looked up the walking route on Google Maps, the 13.8mile route seems to be a good one, pretty direct, and I can say that most of the sections that I know (Ggerrards Cross, Chalfont St. Peter) are quite safe to walk on, but I do not know if the same is true beyond that into Amersham or Chesham.

Come on there's got to be some other (crazy) Rebels who would want to walk it??

If you want to share the route, Can give you some local knowledge on the Amersham / Chesham end of it

[A Rebel and a Saint]

I don't know if anyone else has found a different route but the Google maps route is here

Do you want to stick to roads or go cross country ?

[Rebel Kay]

I have the route from Multi Maps which got us from WP to Rom last week

Which is basically straight up from WP to A40 through GX then A413 and A416 all the way in.

 

Thjis is a much safer route than we took when we walked to Berko. ie A355 as we were walking in the hatched area in the middle of the road coz it was safer than at the edge.

 

I would strongly recommend staying on roads and not going cross country.

 

Likely walking time is 4hr 20 mins therefore suggest 9 - 9.30 start so its not a rush

[Rebel Kay]

I think from memory that the A416 has pavements all the way along it so should be fine.

 

Come on you lot, get your walking boots out.

Hi guys, congratulations on the Hitchin result. It should be a cracker on Saturday.

 

We did a walk from Chesham to Burnham a couple of years ago and you can go from Beaconsfield to Chesham most of the way over fields to avoid the roads if you want. From the junction of Ledborough Lane and Amersham Road (A355) there is a footpath that takes you across the fields running parallel to the main road with a few twists and turns and road crossings that comes out in Old Amersham via a footbridge over the A404. Go through Old Amersham and just by Amersham Town FC (School Lane) there is a path leading up to Amersham on the Hill with a crossing point over the railway line. That then continues into Chesham Bois and there is a path there that leads through to the fields that back onto The Meadow with access at your destination via Fullers Close. You would need to look at the Ordnance Survey map or similar to check a few details but it's a nice walk if the weather's ok. But don't blame me if you take this route and get lost!

 

See you Saturday.

Are we still going ahead with this walk if there is only 4 or 5 of us? doesn't look like mark44 will be joining us.

[Rebel Kay]

I dont see why not.

[A Rebel and a Saint]

So what is the plan? 9.30 start from WP? How many people do we have?

[Ian]

I think there's Radders, Tom, Becca, Mark (?) and Kay (as if she hasn't walked far enough already!)

[HorshamRebel]

I'll try and get to Slough early enough to get some photos at WP

[A Rebel and a Saint]

Don't think Mark is joining us as he has to work.
