I thought I had persuaded both femmes to join us for at least the morning part of today, but Nicola had things to do, given her departure for Cannes on Tuesday, but Margie came with us as far as The Crown at Chinnor where we had lunch. It was another fine morning's walk, with pleasant weather, and the mixture of woodland, ridge walking, some fields, and a few quiet lanes which has characterised the best of the Ridgeway.
Down to 2 in the afternoon, and a walk to Princes Risborough through more rolling countryside. A bit of a trudge as we descended into town at the end of the walk, but a 13 mile day accomplished and we felt OK!
Horrible reception at the George and Dragon, waiting behind the local alkies at the bar to explain that we had accommodation, and being required to stump up £55 each on the spot. However, the rooms were excellent, good beds, enormous tellies, and I had a bathroom the size of a Chelsea bedsit.
Not being constrained to eat at the pub, we found a local curry house. Nothing lifts the spirits like a pint of Kingfisher and a great pile of poppadums. We did actually have some more food there as well...
This was a Good Day.
