From Pitstone the route follows a residential road for a short bit, before going through a tree tunnel (photo #1) towards the canal. After crossing over the Aylesbury Arm, the route then follows the main arm of the GUC for a short section, before continuing along the Tring reservoirs (photo #5, #6). Once leaving (photo #7) the reservoirs, there is a short section in Little Tring along a road (photo #8)....

I walked this (again) from Pitstone to Tring, on a chilly but sunny afternoon....

[Note: The tarmac of Hale Lane can be avoided by taking the (much longer) Ridgeway national trail route on the bridleway through Hale Wood and Barn Wood....

I was glad to be wearing long sleeves and full-length trousers during this section, which appears to have become a lot more overgrown since the previous reviewer walked the route....

In such conditions carry plenty of water and sun screen as not much shade on many parts of the route....

The walk takes footpaths out of Tring, goes around the reservoirs, and then canalside paths. Tring has everything a small town needs - and regular buses to Aylesbury/Berkhamsted/Hemel Hempstead. Pitstone is very small and I didn’t see any sign of refreshments around the meeting point area....

Jane Taylor

It wasn't a big deal though and soon I left Tring Park and I continued to follow a foot path at the edge of a field, avoiding the road on the other side. The section through Chesham wasn't very nice, with loads of cars on the road, and parked on the pavement, although the high street itself was okay. After passing a play ground, tennis fields, and an allotment, the walk went underneath the Metropolitan line tracks up the hill and through Chesham Bois Wood, where a lady asked me whether I had seen her white dog — I had not. A lovely walk, a little muddy, and the section through Chesham was my least favourite....

The descent through the woods in Tring Park was also quite steep (as mentioned by another reviewer) - I managed to get down without too much difficulty but there are a couple of other footpaths that look slightly less steep to the north of the route....

After a few locks, the route goes away from the canal, to reach a short section of the Aylesbury Arm. After another short section of canal, the route goes around the Startop's End and Tring reservoirs, with their many birds....

The route starts at Tring and heads towards Tring park, where from there on the section consists of half going up the hill, and then half going down into Wendover. It's not a small hill, but it's all through woods on the way up....

Derick Rethans

As usual a few places where you need to ensure you are on the right path because of the large number of tracks and paths ion the area....

Richard and Carole

I walked the route after a long period of rain and the Canal towpath was quite slippery....

Trevor Jones

Out of Tring the walk isn't very interesting, until you cross the A41 into Tring Park, which was lovely and there were some cows in the field....

Derick Rethans

The walk starts with going through the village for a little while, and after a little verge walking, there is a climb going up a steep hill with some great view into Wendover Woods....

Derick Rethans

Starting from Berkhamsted, I had no idea quite what a varied walk this would be. The edge of the village is where Tring Park begins. This walk is direct, safe, and really nice to walk....

David Sanderson

At SP 9174 1301 you are encouraged to follow a path to the left which then turns right around the edge of the woods. The footpath has been diverted and you can still see where it used to be. I've amended the route and reviewed the corrected version in Tripit two....

David Sanderson

Passing Tringford Reservoir just added to the appeal of the walk. The reservoir itself was a highlight of the walk, the countryside to the north, the cormorants crowding on the islands. This had 5 star all over it, rejoining the canal was welcome and the navigation to leave and rejoin the towpath was smooth. I'd read the review of Tripit one but my OS app was unaffected by the bug which indicated staying on the towpath side of the canal. Eliminating the section on the "other side of the canal" and the walk along the lane would vastly improve what is otherwise a really lovely walk....

David Sanderson

Heading North, at Manor Farm do not continue on the west bank towpath, cross over the bridge onto the east side and follow canal before turning off right across field to the road....

Richard and Carole

Pleasant walk through the woods before joining a lane for half a mile or so. Across the common and down a lane before joining pleasant valley walk that takes you almost into Chesham....

Richard and Carole

Good route - walked it Aylesbury to Tring on a frosty April morning. Mostly flat with a couple of slight ascents at the Tring end. Canal towpath good at Aylesbury but gets muddier and narrower the further you go along....

TinaG

Pleasant flattish walk with just 1 short ascent as you leave Tring....

Trevor Jones

A good walk with no difficulties but not suitable for wheelchair or child buggies due to stiles....

Trevor Jones

Note I also posted this same review under Wentri one accidentally - I can't vouch for that route, but Wentri two is lovely....

mtormey

I walked this route from Tring to Berkhamsted and while I really enjoyed it overall, there was a notable point of discontinuity. I’ll upload a Triber two that’s nearly identical but fixes the navigation challenge of this route....

Finally, there’s great forest (complete with an obelisk in the woods?) and grassy park walking on final approach into the lovely town of Tring....

mtormey

I thought it was really great countryside walking. Some wide open fields, some steep up- and downhill segments, and a good amount of walking through forest land, with a few just fantastic views of the surroundings. Wendover is also a really lovely place to rest and get something to eat....

Then returned to Aylesbury via main road through Aston Clinton. A Noisy route along main road on return, but at Aston Clinton, Cafe in the Park is a good stop for a Beer or Coffee and snacks....
