Bluebell Hike + the Chiltern Hills 17km via Ivinghoe Beacon
Let’s search for Bluebells in the stunning Chilterns - statistically the best weekend to see them!
We’ll be heading into the rolling hills of the Chilterns with a 17KM countryside hike around Ivinghoe Beacon, taking in sweeping views, woodland trails, and the iconic Bridgewater Monument.
This is a proper day out - a longer hike that rewards effort with some of the best landscapes just outside London. Expect open ridgelines, quiet forest paths, and big panoramic views as we explore one of the most scenic sections of the Chiltern Hills.
As always, our hikes are about more than just the distance: they’re a chance to reset, connect with nature, and spend time with a great group of people.
**Logistics**
📍 Meeting point: 9am at London Euston Station (exact meeting spot shared via WhatsApp) - We’ll be catching the 9:20am train to Tring (40mins)
End: We’ll arrive back in Euston around 6pm
🗓 When: Sunday 26th April
💷 Cost: £31 (guided hike and train tickets included: Euston - Tring and back)
**🌿 What We’ll See Along the Way:**
This route takes us through a mix of woodland and ridgeline trails, offering constant variety and some truly standout views.
Highlights include:
* Ivinghoe Beacon, one of the highest points in the Chilterns, with far-reaching views across the countryside
* The Bridgewater Monument, a striking 18th-century tower set within Ashridge Estate woodland
* Rolling hills and open grassland typical of the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
* Quiet forest trails through Ashridge Estate, especially beautiful in spring
* Wildlife, wildflowers, and that “proper countryside” feeling not far from London
* We’ll take breaks along the way to rest, refuel, and enjoy the scenery — especially at the key viewpoints.
**📏 Hike Details:**
Distance: 17 km
Elevation gain: 400-500 m
Estimated duration: 4.5–6 hours (including breaks)
Difficulty level: Moderate (but with hills)
**About Us**

* Past hikes: check [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/trail.therapy.uk/) for pics of our past hikes
* Communication: We’ll send a WhatsApp link a few days via message for on-the-day logistics.
**What to Bring**
* Sturdy walking shoes or boots (uneven and potentially muddy paths)
* Water (1.5L recommended)
* Packed lunch and snacks (limited options to buy food)
* Weather-appropriate layers and waterproofs
* Sun protection (depending on conditions)
* Good energy for a few climbs
**🍻 Optional Post-Hike Stop**
Depending on timing, we’ll finish at a local pub near the end of the walk before heading back to London together.
**Legal Bit**
*Event details are correct at the time of publishing (E&OE) and organised by Trail Therapy Ltd. Routes and timings may vary slightly depending on weather, conditions, or group pace. Participation is at your own risk — please ensure you’re suitably prepared, dressed for the weather, and responsible for your own safety and wellbeing throughout the walk.*

Following great success with '[Yatra](https://www.eatwith.com/events/59223)', '[Yatra 2.0](https://www.eatwith.com/events/59419)', '[Raaste](https://www.instagram.com/p/DK7HAlVIrwN)', '[Chai O'Clock](https://www.instagram.com/p/DNLZh3ho_ZI)', and '[Best of 2025 Menus](https://www.instagram.com/lettucesustain_london/p/DRFNL_fCF0X)', join [Zarna](https://www.instagram.com/lettucesustain_london) & Akshay of **[Lettuce Sustain](https://www.happycow.net/reviews/lettuce-sustain-supper-club-south-east-london-445661)** ([map](https://maps.app.goo.gl/dnThWHYsBdTL8fY38)) for '**[The Shahi Table](https://youtu.be/2eWHjCEgKKc)**'.
**The Shahi Table** is a themed intimate supper club inspired by the refinement of '[Nawabi cuisine](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Awadhi_cuisine#Nawabi_cuisine)', originating from the royal kitchens of Lucknow in India, and the global spirit of London.
This meal is a celebration of balance — indulgence without excess, spice with restraint, and dishes that invite conversation as much as comfort. Drawing from royal Indian culinary traditions and reimagined through contemporary forms, the menu reflects a table where cultures meet, stories unfold, and time slows down.
Join us for a thoughtfully paced vegan dining experience, where crisp, refreshing beginnings give way to rich, comforting mains and a dessert that lingers softly at the end. Each course has been designed to echo both royal Indian flavours and globally familiar forms — tacos, arancini, tempura — creating a menu that feels welcoming, elegant, and quietly indulgent.
**What to Expect**
* **Royal Mélange** *Shaved cucumber dressed in a delicate rosewater vinaigrette — light, aromatic, and refreshing*
* **Nawabi Tempura** *Crisp seasonal vegetables served with a creamy, gently spiced curry*
* **Galouti Taco** *An indulgent, soft kebab cooked with spices and herbs, folded into a warm taco*
* **Okra Burani** *Creamy spiced yogurt with crisp okra chips, finished with fresh herbs*
* **Makhani Arancini** *Masala rice arancini paired with a rich, velvety makhani gravy*
* **Pistachio Kulfi Cheesecake** *A nutty, kulfi-inspired cheesecake delicately flavoured with pistachio and cardamom*
The menu is accompanied by **Nawabi Nectar**, a house mocktail/cocktail crafted to complement the aromas and richness of the evening.
**The Shahi Table** is more than a meal — it’s an invitation to gather, to slow down, and to experience Indian flavours through a lens of elegance, warmth, and shared pleasure.
Come for the flavours. Stay for the feeling.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Shahi table.
*This is an intimate gathering of 10 people, BYOB if you wish.*

Disc Tues / BAFTA Winner: I SWEAR at Marcus Crosswoods!
Join us as we get together to see the BAFTA-winning British biographical dark-comedy/drama, I SWEAR! The film is based on the true-life story of a Scottish man diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome at an early age. Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event:
DESCRIPITON: This true-life story follows a Scottish man diagnosed with Tourette's at 15. Targeted as 'insane' by his peers, he struggled with a condition few had witnessed. In search of his life’s purpose, he began campaigning for better understanding and acceptance of the condition of Tourette's as an adult.
The film is written/directed/produced by Kirk Jones and stars Robert Aramayo, Maxine Peake, Shirley Henderson and Peter Mullan.
TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeWqQN3snCU
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: I Swear currently has an incredible 100% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which says: “A deft balance of prickly and sweet that's bound together by Robert Aramayo's knockout performance, I Swear doesn't sugarcoat the challenges of Tourette syndrome while delivering an uplifting tale of resilience.” Others call it, “"funny, fierce and full of heart!” The film was released earlier in the UK making it eligible for this year’s BAFTA’s where it won Best Casting and Best Lead Actor for Robert Aramayo. The film and Robert Aramayo's performance will be eligible for next year’s Oscars!
PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the bar area about 30 minutes before showtime! Once details are confirmed, advance ticket purchase is advised! Details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer.
Should be a good one, Dan
