The routes all enjoy fine panoramic views of the Chiltern especially on a sunny day. Chequers and Pulpit Hill are passed on the way back.
There are some energetic climbs which will be good training for entrants in the London Marathon so do not be deceived by the comparative short distances of the routes.

The
small print:
I draw up these route maps using ordinance survey maps and Memory Map software. Although I have run most of the routes used for Trailblazers events I do not have the time to run around them prior to each event to check for accuracy, obstructions and changes to footpaths and byways. Reasonable map reading skills are required and there may be a need on the day to find an alternative route. It is requested that runners keep in groups and do not leave individuals alone with the risk of getting lost. This is all part of the Trailblazers ethos where exploring the Chilterns in the company of fellow club members is as important as the time to complete the course. All participants must take due care and avoid taking unnecessary risks. Club insurance covers all members who have paid their subscription. Please contact me prior to the event if you have any concerns. The routes this month have been used before but care should be observed. Likewise I have not been to the pub so cannot vouch for the quality of beer and food.
