The views were magnificent; good views, you can see the Shard.

Frequently very muddy and marshy and especially in Morven open space and the wet field paths south of Cuffley. Passes the Leefe Robinson Memorial and Sopers Viaduct, and joins the Hertfordshire Way. Northaw is a picturesque village with a tap inside the church gate. Cuffley has shops and cafes for a refreshment stop.
Time: 4h30–9h
Lunch: Lots of refuelling opportunities in Cuffley around the half-way point.
