BHF #walkforhearts challenge (walk 1)
St Mary-Le-Moor serves a small village of Cadmore End in the Chilterns. The church was consecrated in 1851, designed by Rhode Hawkins and is built from local flints dressed bath stone. It has attractive deciated stain glass windows dating from 1856. The font cover acts as the memorial to commemorate those who fell in the Great War and is the work of Miss K Shaw. It depicts a village woman in local dress offering her son to the country.

BHF #walkforhearts MEGA walk, not that was my intention. It was to be a loop both sides of Thames between Temple Lock and Hambleden Lock starting out from Hurley, but on reaching Temple bridge (returning to my car) it was closed forcing god knows how many extra miles, walking both sides of the river all the way to Marlow bridge - ended up doing 24.39 km (nearly as far as my Harefield to Wycombe charity walk!)

PARKRUN #218 - (Wycombe Rye parkrun), in aid of BHF #walkforhearts
On the nearest parkrun to my 7th anniversary I volunteered as a 'parkwalker' to get a few more miles in for the BHF challenge and walked with two lovely ladies, the first my fellow parkwalker who has been a near neighbour of mine for some years yet we just met this morning and the other a lovely tourist visiting her daughter from South Africa, it was a pleasure to walk & chat with you both - that's another 5.31km bringing the total to 77.93km out of 50km for the BHF challenge!! (just a shame the donations are not keeping pace).
An excellent day alround with Wycombe Wanderers completing a superb 3-0 win over Orient to move into 2nd place in the league, what could make the day any better? .... well, maybe a few more contributions to help me get the BHF medal (time is running out)!!

The site at Pullingshill Wood contains the best and most complete set of training trenches left in the UK and plays an important part of recording the history of that time. There are about 1400m of trenches dug about 2m deep and 2m wide, by troops from the Grenadier Guards and local people. It is likely that the Grenadier Guards, Welsh Guards, Royal Engineers and Royal Army Medical Corps, who were all billeted at the nearby by Bovingdon Green Camp, trained in the trenches during 1915 and 1916, in preparation for going to the front lines.
Many training camps were set up in 1914 and 1915 to give the new recruits good skills and morale before setting off. Many features such as machine-gun posts, fire-bays and forward trenches have been identified here at Pullingshill Wood.
The trenches are in good condition and their pattern can be followed today despite natural infilling through soil and leaf litter build-up
