TUESDAY: Watlington to Princes Risborough
Another late start this morning! We took ages getting packed away, and it was already hot by the time we set off.
 |
| 10.49am: Goodbye White Mark Farm. |
We started out with a fully charged camera so we could take plenty of pictures and measure our distance walked.
 |
| 11:17am |
 |
| 11:18am |
 |
| 11.36am: They mow the Ridgeway. Who knew! |
 |
| 11.36am |
By the time we reached the tap at Aston Rowant Nature Reserve, we were really hot.
 |
| 12.03pm: Some of this went over my head. |
 |
| 1.08pm: Ah seen a dragonfly! |
 |
| 1.09pm |
Dad had been raving about the amazing blue water in the chalk pits at Chinnor. Maybe he saw them in the 60s.
 |
| 1.13pm: Chalk pit in the background. Meh! |
 |
| 1.20pm: We thought of stopping here for lunch but there was nowhere to sit. |
 |
| 1.41pm: Much better! A park near Chinnor. |
For lunch we had oats and blueberries made into "porridge" by stirring in olive oil. #calories
 |
| 3.48pm: First glimpse of Whiteleaf Cross. |
When we reached Princes Risborough, we had a rest in a park and phoned my brother. He was out eating in a restaurant with mum while I was sweating on the Ridgeway. How's that for being born under a bad sign?
Still, we had to press on because we had to reach our hidden stash of supplies by nightfall.
 |
| 5.02pm: Whiteleaf Cross a little bit nearer! |
 |
| 5.15pm: Steps, steps, steps... |
 |
| 5.44pm: A well-deserved rest. |
 |
| 5.50pm: Yep. This'll do! |
While Dad was getting the food and water parcels we'd hidden in the bushes a few weeks ago, I made friends with every dog that passed. I made a lot of friends!
 |
| 5.59pm: One of the lovely dogs I met. He was very friendly. |
 |
| 8.21pm: The album cover? |
After dinner I had a little dance LOL.
 |
| 8.25pm: Tired? Me? |
 |
| 8.32pm: The album cover!!! |
 |
| 8.34pm: Ready for bed! |
Distance covered: 19.622km
