Another tough ride today with more hills that we are used to! Accompanied by Chris and Yvonne, and DSLR camera for a change.
The route from Wargrave to Hambleden, up over the very steep Dudley Lane passed the Chiltern Valley Vineyard, flat for a bit before dropping down into Turville, then back via Hambleden Village.
Parked up next to the rusty barns at Highfield Rd, Wargrave. They look especially nice this time of year nestled amongst the rape crops
The van is now just half a mile away. Phew!

And now, back up Remenham Hill. We are all knackered and all think we will be off pushing... but we all made it to the top in one.
