This walk had 4 walkers and was led by Lynn
Three other ramblers met me at The Lilley Arms - Tony P, Brenda and Sharon.
We
followed the lane down to the path that heads out alongside Ward’s Wood
and carried on until we reached the Icknield Way. Turning right, we
walked along there until a path junction where we stopped for our
elevenses during which a large group from Ampthill Nordic Striders
marched through….shortly followed by three late starters marching at
pace to catch the others!
We carried on up the Icknield Way ,
along Hexton Road for a short stretch and then up to Telegraph Hill: a
lovely section under all the trees and there was quite a good view
looking north too, when we got to the top. From there we headed out
along the ridge of Lilley Hoo - rather blowy along that bit! - staying
on the hard path instead of going across the field. Once we reached
Lilley Hoo Lane, we turned right to walk up and over the hill and back
down into Lilley.
Considering the weather forecast had been
pretty grim a few days before, we were very lucky that we only had a bit
of drizzle during the walk and it waited until we’d got to the end
before it started raining more heavily.
All four of us then enjoyed some very welcome, very tasty, hot food in the pub.
