Having walked a section between Ewelme and Hailey a couple of weeks ago, I walked from Ewelme to Cookley Green and back yesterday. I could not have chosen a better day: a clear blue sky and fantastic colours of leaves on the trees and shrubs enhanced the superb views. It was while I was enjoying a well-deserved pint of Guinness in the 'Shepherd's Hut' upon completion and looking at my 'Explorer' map that I realised I had walked the wrong path on one section! As there is a car parking area at the very spot I made my mistake, I decided to walk the two miles return that afternoon. How glad I was! It proved to be the very best part of the day's walk.
