Pete's Walks- Goring and Hartslock (page 3 of 4)
At the top of the hill the drive turned left and then right to pass between the buildings at Upper Gatehampton Farm. I continued along the drive for about another quarter of a mile. to reach a large farm building on the right. Here the bridleway parted from the drive, going left and following a mature hedge on the right with a large paddock on the left to reach Great Chalk Wood. I was now on part of the Chiltern Way and I would be following its waymarks all the way back to Goring. The path initially ran close to an edge of the wood to my right, and I soon spotted some Greater Stitchwort and my first Wild Garlic of the year.

After a while the bridleway passed an open area on the left, where part part of the wood had been cleared. Near the end of the cleared section I came to a bridleway junction where I turned left, soon spotting more Wild Garlic.
