Travel & Outdoor • Hiking

Price does not include rail ticket - please buy your own.

Intermediate hike, 22km/13 miles with 376m ascent. Daylight hours are getting shorter so we will take this hike at a decent pace.

Join me for this exhilarating walk through woodland, farmland and open ridgeway. Setting out from Tring station, we'll head for the picturesque village of Aldbury, before entering the beautiful, deep shade of ancient beechwoods on the sprawling Ashridge Estate.

Emerging onto the Icknield Way trail, the land drops away and we'll enjoy lofty views from Ivinghoe Beacon. It was the starting point of this ancient thoroughfare, which was used as a signal point in times of crisis to send messages. Then we'll tread in the footsteps of travellers as far back as 5,000 years as we head along the famous Chiltern ridgeway and return to Tring.

GRADE: Intermediate circular walk of 22km / 16.1 miles 376m ascent with about 6 hours walking time. Hilly in places.

COST: £10.00 organiser fee. Please buy your own train tickets (c.£15 return with a National Rail card or you can see if you can buy a group saver ticket with 2 + others on the day).

MEETING TIME: 8:30 at London Euston station in front of the main ticket office

TRAINS: Starting and finishing at Tring station. From London Euston station, we'll take the 9:09 train that gets to Tring at 9:51.

WALK STARTS: 10:00 sharp, leaving from Tring station, on the big car park side. If you're meeting us at Tring please PM me so that we don't miss you.

WALK FINISHES: Back at Tring station, about 17:30. Finish time is an estimate and will depend on the group, so consider yourself committed for the day.
