This month's Trailblazers continues the water theme following on after the Thames and Water runs organised by Trevor Davies. We need to venture across the county boundary into Middlesex but it is only about 20 minutes from Amersham. The courses mix surprisingly secluded countryside with canal and lakeside paths. There are fine views over the lakes with abundant bird (and insect!) life. Much of the routes are flat and good for running but I have still managed to intersperse some hills to add variety. There are three course loops and it is recommended that both runners and walkers start with loop A. Will-power will be needed to continue on past the pub to either or both loops B and C, but those who do will be rewarded by more pleasant surroundings.
