🥾 Walk 691 - Cholsey and Wallingford

On Saturday 8th February, eight BWW members and one visitor from Chiltern walkers, undertook the walk, which ended up being just over 12 miles. A pretty good result for a notoriously inaccurate judge of distances.

Conditions were cool but largely wind-free, with only a short spell of light drizzle. A touch more mud compared to the pre-walk but we arrived back at Cholsey with largely mud free boots.

The walk took in the new developments in Wallingford and brought back memories of child birth at the maternity wing to one walker. We encountered next to no one else on the walk and a couple of stiles tested our flexibility.

Lunch was had under cover at South Moreton pub before we headed to Blewburton fort, which we circumvented due to the slippery surface on the descent. We then moved through the Astons before arriving back at Cholsey in time to catch the 4:14pm train to Reading.

All in all a good walk. Next walk from Cholsey will target North Moreton, a touch longer walk.

Thanks go to Ian for leading this walk and for the write-up.
