Lutste three

Slow Way not verified yet. Verify Lutste here.

I felt that Lutste Two had too many minor inaccuracies to be easily followed but this is essentially the same route as Lutste Two.
From Luton station the route follows a busy road to a cemetery and heads uphill. No gates to the cemetery, no lights either. More suburban walking then steps down to a walkway over a roundabout. Uphill again along Eaton Green Road. Near the end of this road the pavement ends and there is a verge which starts narrow and gets wider, shallow ditches have to be hopped over. Cross Darley Road into a field. A footpath, with good views of planes landing at the airport, takes you alongside and through fields to Breachwood Green Village. More fields to Bendish the down Long Lane which starts off rutted and muddy but becomes a good compacted grit track with great views. The path behind Whitwell passes around a recreation ground and fields. Diversion needed if you wanted to visit the village centre. After crossing the River Mimram its uphill to Eastall past the church in St Paul's Walden. There is a (B651) road crossing past the church with quite a high step down onto the road and up off the road. A mix of tracks and field edges takes you to Dyers Lane, a track which becomes ever more littered as you approach the motorway. After passing under the motorway, urban roads and underpasses take you to the carpark which is Stevenage Leisure Park and the Station.
Generally follows the Chiltern Way and the Hertfordshire Way.
This route is the same as Kimste (Kimpton to Stevenage) from St Pauls Walden to Stevenage.
A beautiful walk
