Sunday's forthcoming Pitstone / Ivinghoe Walk route...

Here's a map of the route on Sunday. We are starting at Pitstone Hill car park (free), walking to Steps Hill then on to Ivinghoe Beacon. We'll follow the Beacon path around then through the woods and up the steep hill to Ward's Hurst Farm. From there we'll cross the Ashridge estate woodland and finally on to Clipper Down before returning to Pitstone Hill. It'll give us the chance to tackle a few hills and take in some good views. The entire walk is 6 miles and we can expect to be out between 2 and 3 hours.

Meet at my house after 1.30pm or 2pm at the car park.

Profile of the walk, from start to finish. Highest point: 789ft, lowest point: 530ft. Distance 6 miles.
