Made it! View back towards Beacon Hill from the summit of Coombe Hill, Buckinghamshire, England
The view back down the precipitous path (about 1:1 I would think) up the flank of Coombe Hill.
Any steeper and I'd have climbed it on all fours, but at least it's short.
I like to think I'm super fit for my age (Wow, that's a depressing sentence; to find you've got to the time of life where people say things like that), but I could feel it in my legs for the next two days. The wet spring has left Banburyshire very wet underfoot so I headed south to the porous chalk uplands of the Chilterns and had a good dry day's walk.
Prominent in the image is the wide chalk footpath across the meadow.
