Stoke Mandeville walks

The Ridgeway the other way. The National Trail from NE to SW. This Stage 2 is the most undulating with several climbs in and out of valleys and is, therefore, the most strenuous part of The Ridgeway.

It goes along the bottom edge of the Chilterns scarp and passes Watlington Hill.
