Pete's Walks - The Hertfordshire Way
About my walk
I walked the Hertfordshire Way between September 2005 and February 2006. As is by now normal for my walks, I used my patented ‘there and back’ routine, each day walking about 7½ miles along the route and then turning round and retracing my steps. I thereby walked the whole route in both directions, which took me 27 days of walking. There was a seven week gap in the middle of the walk, when I was unable to walk due to back problems.
The Hertfordshire Way guide book includes an optional alternative route from Cuffley to Hertford. I walked both the original route (Leg 10 in the guide book) as well as the alternative route (Leg 10A and Leg 10B). I also did an optional bit around Bourne End and Hemel Hempstead. All told, I walked about 394 miles.
