Gerrards Cross

Great route, but with one impassable section. I've created Gercho 2 to fix it....

From Chorleywood you'll need to climb a little to get onto the Common for a short stretch, and then after some walking along residential roads, you'll end up in some alley way public footpaths. After a while it is downhill towards the A413, which you have to follow for about 25 metres, before crossing the Gerrards Cross Golf Club (look out for golf balls!) and along a lake with swans, with a ford at the end...

I walked this from Gerrards Cross to Uxbridge, on a warmish autumn afternoon. The route starts at the Tescos and after some walking along the high street you quickly cross into the nice common. Starting from Tesco there is a short high street before reaching Gerrards Cross' pleasant common. On the other side there is a short walk beside the A40 before cutting thorough a quiet 'access only' road. This exits by a bus stop and you have to cross the A40 and walk along it a bit further into Tatting End. Cross again by another bus stop, down a quiet road to a new gravel road passing through woods....

It goes through Chalfont St Giles (Feathers pub is good for a stop) and then Chalfont St Peter....

The route goes through Jordans and touches on Seer Green, and then crosses a golf course....

The middle section is lovely, but coming out of Gerrards Cross and coming into Slough are dreadful walking along roads with fast moving cars. I've created Sloger Two which fixes the Gerrards Cross traffic section with something much nicer, similar to what Gerive one does....

I walked this from Gerrards Cross to Slough on a warm summer morning, except for the section out of Gerrards Cross, which I walked on the same day but coming back from Iver (avoiding the busy road section in Gerrards Cross from Sloger one). At the end of that, you need to cross a busy road, followed by a fairly long slog along a busy road with a narrow path right next to a big wall, to get you into Slough....

When you come out of the park there is a little road walking, with light traffic, although they can go a little fast. Once you cross Windsor Road, there are public foot paths which you follow in a big V, but you can also walk along the third leg of the triangle to shorten the route a little. After another road walking section up a hill, you end up on (the very dry) Gerrards Cross Common, and soon at your destination at the station....

There is now a Gerric Two which is similar but navigates around the blocked paths....

Another diversion sign takes you along a quiet road before turning left into a lovely wood, steep in places. You come out near an HS2 works entrance and a walk alongside a busy road on a bark-mulched path on the verge. left again to a roundabout, cross and go down a quiet suburban road to the town centre....

Lovely route blocked in the middle by HS2 works. Gersou2 gets around the block....

Strider

A short section on pavements to a bridge and steps down to the canal. After a weir and just before a bridge turn right for a path between the lakes, it turns alongside, but not next to, the Denham Road....

Crossing the street (Long Bottom Lane) then brings you across a golf course for quite some time, before crossing the rail way and the new "Beaconsfield Eastern Relief Road" to walk through some residential streets, an alleyway, and along a slightly busy Maxwell Road to find some steep steps down to the station....

I've uploaded Gersou 2, which solves this with a redirection....

Along a little bit of road (A412) the route needs to skirt around HS2 building works, but a new path has been provided and safe. On the west side of the M25 however, the path becomes narrow with nettles on one side, and a barbed wire on the other....

Langley Park is beautiful, but the path marked on the OS map is unwalkable, partly blocked by dead-hedge to preserve the woods, and partly non-existent. Another walk in the road to fields and under the M25, another road then Bulstrode Park. This walk is mostly beautiful woods and countryside with lots to see and do, but is marred by some navigation issues and some uncomfortable road walking/crossing...

Strider

This might be possible but it's 4 lanes of fast traffic and I found no easy or safe way to cross. I loaded an alternative to avoid this....

Unfortunately, this route is fairly unpleasant – most of it is either on narrow footpaths next to fast roads or alongside industrial farms. At one point around the half way point the farm is undertaking serious earthwork and the footpath is non-existent, hopefully once that finishes the path will be clearer. Footpaths along the middle section are often overgrown, muddy and there is quite a bit of rubbish and flytipping along the way....

I would instead turn right along Bull lane where there is a pavement, and then turn onto the path that runs along the trainline from there (that is what I did on my way back and I much preferred it)....

Eddie

There is a path alongside the A40 from the Underpass out of Beaconsfield to the Footpath past Potkiln lane. Use that and the rest of the route is usable. The section through Wilton Park is not open...

Mark Lucas

Slight confusion as the route goes straight across the road at Welder's Lane, but it looked from the map as if it might follow the road briefly. A number of stiles, some steep-ish hills and narrow alleys, so may not be suitable for those with trouble walking or pushing prams etc....

In that first review I stated that a "path" (from the end of Potkiln Lane heading WNW) is blocked, barred ,........
