Saturday 16th March led by Janet & John York

 

There were 5 of us on this walk starting in Pirton village on a bright morning. 
We set off on the Icknield Way - a gentle steady incline passing Tingley Wood then down to cross the B655. We were exactly on the Bedfordshire/Hertfordshire border here. Some convenient logs provided seats for a short coffee break then on a fairly muddy stretch past Telegraph Hill where we turned sharp left towards Little Offley.

Arriving at the latter place we found some stacked pallets suitable for our packed lunch. Then back down to cross the B655 again up a short but steep hill and back into Pirton.

A kestrel flew out from oil seed rape field and we heard skylarks and a  green woodpecker. 6.7 miles in total on quite varied terrain was enjoyed by everyone.
