Commentary
A short Sunday morning circular walk from Amersham, taking in Shardeloes and the Misbourne Valley to the West of Amersham. The day had started with a deluge of rain and finished with forecasts of storms and strong winds but in between was a sunny interval which made for a very pleasant walk. Not many people about, given the early hour (despite everyone having had an extra hour in bed with the clocks-change). Most of the trees still had plenty of leaves – Autumn is only just starting. Val managed to find a geocache in Parsonage Wood (Rectory Hill) on the way back! Resisted the temptation to drop into the excellent “Seasons” café in the old town, as we need to be back in time to take the latest batch of apples to Chiltern Ridge Farm for turning into juice.
