Winter hill

Just a quick 12 miles up and down winter hill, and through Cookham and Pinkneys Green today.
The view from the top was well worth the climb, I have no idea how much of a climb it was as my computer has been broken for 2 years. You can see the Thames at the bottom and the A404 leading up to the Handy Cross roundabout at High wycmbe to the distant top left of this picture. Also notice, no aircraft trails in the sky, what a rare and peaceful sight.
It was all very pretty with nice quiet roads, I expect you would need to be quite wealthy to live around there. I also passed "Copas" famous turkey farm, a pretty little orchard, and then went through some woods again where there were these tempting bike runs made by kids for cycling, I remember playing on bikes in the woods as a child on these, I think the troughs were created by unused bombs which were dumped from returning aircraft during the war, at least thats a story we were told as kids. However I did not play on them today as I think I am just a little too old now.
