Linking the Aylesbury and Wendover Arms - Thursday10th April 2014
Ldr: Brian Graves
Startop’s - the Grand Union canal - along the Wendover Arm. Views of Wilstone Reservoir. Bridge 4 with the BBN plaque. Working on the canal – and another footbridge. Mid-morning break by the Saxon Way bridge near Aston Clinton – the burial place of a Saxon princess was found nearby when the bypass was constructed. The canal had to be moved – Adrian pointed out the former line of the canal either side of the road. On to Halton – across the fields to Weston Turville for lunch – field paths again northwards to join the Aylesbury Arm near Broughton – view across the fields to Norman’s Dog House PH. Counting down the bridges to re-join the Grand Union and back to Marsworth.
A very enjoyable walk on a lovely sunny day – lots of gorgeous blossom everywhere.
