Ramblers Association 75th Anniversary
'The train may take the strain' but if HS2, the high speed train, follows the recently announced Preferred Route alongside the A413 through the Wendover gap then this ancient market town will be devastated and popular parts of the Chiltern Hills AONB will be irreparably damaged.
Bucks, Milton Keynes & West Middlesex Area Ramblers have chosen the issue of the threats posed by High Speed Rail to the Rights of Way network to mark the founding of the Ramblers Association seventy five years ago.
Join Bucks Area Ramblers on Saturday 13 November 2010 to walk and view a number of footpaths and bridleways in the vicinity of Wendover which will either be obliterated or severed should the construction of the line go ahead. A figure of eight route 9.6 miles in total is planned; start, end and crossover at Wendover Railway Station. However, you can choose just 5 miles in the morning climbing to a height of 260m at Coombe Hill or 4.6 miles in the afternoon over flatter farmland in the Vale of Aylesbury or for the more energetic, complete the whole figure of eight circuit. The lunch break in Wendover offers numerous cafes and public houses.
Show your support for the Ramblers, celebrate its many successes and use the opportunity to protest against this latest threat from the high speed line proposals, which will see over one hundred paths affected across the Area’s territory. Meet at Wendover Station at 10.15 am. for either the morning’s or all day’s ramble or at 2pm for just the afternoons walk.
