70-Acre Pipers Hill Restoration to Bring Back Orchard and Improve Wildlife Corridor
The Chilterns site adjoins ancient woodland and the River Gade’s water meadows. Its owners also plan guided visits so local schoolchildren can see the habitats change.

In UK we are now in meteorological & astronomical autumn, but it still feels like summer. 🙂👍 Today's ride into the Chilterns was no exception. Warm n dry; superb. I can recommend the Courgette & Avocado cake at #StokeRowStore; good coffee too.

They are Red Kites! Back in the 1980s there were less than 50, mostly in Wales. Then a reintroduction program centred near me in the Chilterns used birds from Sweden and Spain. Very successful...now 4500 pairs.

Out for #sunrise this morning, which is at a respectable 7am. 👍 Early sun burning off some September mist over the river Thames. Ride was 75km up into the Chilterns & back through Wallingford. Nuffield Hill is always a good value descent out of the Chilterns.

London was full of artesian wells fed from the Chilterns and North Downs. These were used in brewing and papermaking etc. until de-industrialisation in the 60s. So many deep structures like the tube and tall building foundations were built when the clay was less saturated. 1/2

Peter has recently left a tablet and two phone charging banks in the pocket of the seat in front on a plane.
So he's programmed his phone to shout at him to remember his tablet and charger while playing ABBA loudly, when he takes it off airplane mode.
It just did it on a Chilterns train. Humiliated.

St James ruins, Bix Bottom in The Chilterns. Seasonal shot; today we saw some of the trees "on the turn" but still lots of greens.

I have a choice from Birmingham - a fast train from New Street to Euston, or an extra half an hour on a train from Moor Street through the Chilterns to Marylebone.
It’s no contest.

7 years to build the vastly more complex Channel Tunnel.
Then again there was hardly any Nimbyism as a majority of the construction was under the sea
As for on land HS2 passes through the Chilterns & that’s where the costs shot up

Huge disruption to journey home from France after on time TGV & Eurostar mostly early. All services from Paddington cancelled inc. my specific train with concourse crowded like an Afghan airport evacuation. GWR staff advising alt. route via Chilterns & Brum, but no actual connections!?! Stranded

My first car was a (NA) MG Metro so you brought the feels with this. Metric tyres, crunchy gears, they all do that wings, barely making it over the chilterns in 2nd with the temp gauge pegged... 6ft 2 and I fit into mine fine too.

🥾 110 miles, eight days and one of Britain’s oldest roads.
Sarah Pryor sets out along the Icknield Way, through the Chilterns, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire – with glorious views, hidden paths and the occasional wrong turn.

it feels disingenuous because hs2 includes the two tunnels under central london and the chilterns, while ca hsr doesn't include any of the work for the four tunnels under san francisco, the diablo range, tehachapi pass, and the san gabriel mtns

I am pissed off every time I get on the bike around Chilterns and around seeing the damage this money grabbing vanity project is doing to the nature.

The connection with the Baskervilles is preserved in statues of hellhounds with spears through their mouths which sit on the stone gateposts at the entrance to the park and atop the front of Crowsley Park House.

Part 1 of Sarah Pryor's #IcknieldWay adventure is now live. From Ivinghoe Beacon to Royston, she explored 50+ miles of Britain's oldest road through the Chilterns, villages and historic landscapes. Part 2 continues east towards Knettishall Heath.

Marlow, High Wycombe, the Chilterns. 😅🥵
Manageable in a day, I'd say, the most I ever did on the Cabby was about 40 miles - delivering Christmas goodies in the pandemic - but there and back would be pushing it.
You know if there are any festivals or similar fun stuff around that way?

Very interesting. I wonder if the top soil for the shrubs was imported? In the Chilterns, top soil imported onto habitat creation for HS2 has contained species like Red Star-thistle and Spreading Hedge-parsley. Presumeably, not seen again after stable, non-arable, regimes ensue.

High Wycombe might've been murder on my bloody knee(s), but it has proved rich in Nature and for that I'll forever be grateful. The Chilterns National Landscape is beautiful.
