Despite the inclement weather, I was joined by 5 people and 2 dogs.  We set off up the hill, past Hatton's Farm. Down through the woods and up again to Holywick and onto Woodend Farm.  Down the road for a bit, then to Lower Woodend.  Descending, we passed the beautifully carved wooden owls, then up to Marlow Common North nature reserve for our banana break.  Through Pullingshill Wood, then down to Homefield Wood and up again to go by Rotten Row with it's duck pond.  The rain was heavy now, so the last mile or two were not pleasant and we were happy to reach our cars! ... and yes, it was a hilly walk!
