The Chiltern Young Walkers invites you to one of our favourite areas of the Chilterns to join us on an introductory walk ahead of our annual meeting which is straight after at 5pm - [see event here!](https://www.meetup.com/chilternyoungwalkers/events/311373912)

It's a nice easy walk on well-used footpaths, where its more about getting to know the group and asking any questions you might have about how we work than any complicated or strenuous walking. Any of our regular walkers are welcome of course, too and please bring any guests you like.

We'll be meeting outside Budgens in the town centre, by the war memorial. Best parking options are either Wendover Library Car Park where parking costs £1.20 for up to 4 hours, or the station car park (£4.20 all day). Both are just a few mins walk from the start point. Some free parking is available on local roads such as South Street (please double check signs) but please plan additional time if you wish to try to find some as it is often taken up. Trains run to Wendover from London Marylebone and Aylesbury and the station is 5 mins walk from the meeting point.

The route sees us walk through the charming town of Wendover before starting our ascent into Wendover Woods. Note there is a long gentle climb near the beginning with a very short, sharp bit before we reach the top of the woods, but we will take it slowly for those less used to hills and will be rewarded with a nice gentle walk with only small ups and downs in the woods itself until we descend back into the town at the end.

Wendover Woods are a firm favourite with the locals as they offer wide chalk footpaths through beautiful woodlands, views over the vale and lots to do like GoApe and the Gruffalo trail. We'll take advantage of the café and picnic benches for a short snack/coffee stop (loos also available here) and admire the remains of the Iron Age Boddington Hill Fort.

Please wear sturdy shoes (trainers or walking boots, please no plimsoll type shoes) that you don't mind getting muddy - due to the weather in November there is a chance some parts could be muddy. Dress warmly and bring a waterproof coat, water and snacks or a packed lunch, though refreshments are available at the café.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead the whole time.
