Walking between pubs (and stopping at them) for Gavin's and Heather's 50th Birthdays
We hope you will join us as we walk, eat and drink our way around the Chilterns to celebrate two 50th birthdays and 20 years. Let us know what appeals from our itinerary below. Feel free to book to stay in the same pubs as us if you would like to, or meet us for lunch and a walk ... whatever works for you.
We will need to book tables for meals at busier pubs over Easter weekend, so let us know if you think you'll join us then.
Joshua and Leo will be walking with us and would be very glad of the company of younger friends and family as well as 'oldies'! They could also use a lift to St Albans on Easter Sunday to sing the morning service at St Peter's (and back to us) if anyone might be able to help us navigate that little issue!
We have been told we are welcome to play live music at the Fox at Ibstone, so I hope April 3rd evening will work for musician friends; bring your instruments!
