A beautiful walk in the Chilterns with Dan on a (somewhat rare!) gorgeous, warm summer's day. The route started out at Tring station, taking the Ridgeway up to the Ivanhoe Beacon (the second highest peak in the Chilterns) for some lovely panaromic views, and returning via the Bridgewater monument. Further details can be found here.

I hope the photos capture the variety of natural beauty experienced when walking along the paths.
