Aynho Long Walk 12th February 2015

Fourteen enthusiastic walkers set out on this cold, overcast morning along the black path and through Little Lane to Station Road and Millers Lane. Our attempts to avoid the medium walk failed so we overtook them during the Millers Lane stretch and turned off to skirt round the ford and continue past the Mill and up to Souldern Village. We paused and regrouped to avoid losing members as we turned right and walked a short way down Wharf Lane before taking the path across two fields to come out on the track leading into the side of the village. The footpath then weaves between the houses and comes out on the road to the Fox Inn, but we turned right and followed the track round to Nancy Bowles Wood and then across Fox Hill past the llama farm. No llamas on view today. Thence down the road back into Souldern and down past the church on to the Portway Path and back to the Pavilion where everyone gathered for a hot drink and or lunch and a good chat.
