Cold and wet and muddy...our first country walk in Wendover #1

Today, we got out of London and went on our first walk in the English Countryside. The walk was supposed to be 11.5 miles long, but we got a little confused so I think we walked more like 13 or 14 miles...we are composing a letter to the editor of our country walks near London book, in which we will detail just what was confusing about the directions.

We woke up early this morning and were on the tube by 6:45. We took a commuter train from London Marylebone station to Wendover--about an hour outside of London. Here is a picture of a sleepy eyed Jim on the train:

We arrived in Wendover at around 8:45 and started our walk. The walk was rated a 7 out of 10 in difficulty...and we figured out why.

Here is Jim outside of the train station, which marked the beginning and the end of our walk:
