Our group of 8 set off from the free NT car park on Pinkneys Drive on a rather dull day, with a light but chilly breeze. We walked northwards, passing a lovely long row of blackthorn blossom on the western edge of Pinkneys Green. Over the road, then through woods with bluebell leaves aplenty (and the odd flower appearing). We entered the Bisham woods and followed the bridleway/cycle trail before heading up to the edge of the woods for our banana break.  Again, a few bluebells, primroses and lesser celandine. Down through fields to walk across Cookham Dean Common. More wooded areas, then through Hindhay Farm, then fields, to the road. Crossing that, we walked across different sections of Pinkney Green, where cowslips were already popping up in some areas, back to the car park. A very pleasant walk in good company.
