Chorleywood and Heronsgate.
Many thanks for Bill and Vivien for a very well planned walk in the finer parts of Metroland yesterday. We learned some interesting history, had an excellent lunch and walked through some delightful woods with early bluebells. Most enjoyable for all.
Very best

Most of the walk will take place before lunch, but if anyone wants to prolong the afternoon walk we finish up on Chorleywood Common which has plenty of scope for further walking.
