Country Walk

May Eleventh, 2012


We went on a country walk through Dr. Burt's hometown of Prince's Risborogh.  We hiked a total of about 7 miles through the rough country.  We were on the public walkways which crossed through all sorts of places.  This was possible because they have been public routes for hundreds of years.  During our country walk we crossed a golf course and of course just out of a little fun after a gentleman teed off I decided to yell "get in the hole Tiger" everyone got a good laugh and even his friends yelled get in the hole and smiled after it.  We walked past the prime ministers country residence which had metal fencing so no one could use car bombings on the property.  Clinton, Bush, and Obama have all stayed on the property and was a beautiful estate.  We all took pictures in the famous tree on the walk and it was a great group photo.

After walking for a while we came upon some sheep and cows and I ended up stepping in some very fresh cow poop in my new Nike trainers.  Throughout the trip we encountered high winds and warm weather.

We also walked through a golf course and a fairway which I ended up taking a picture on the green to remember the course because it was in such great shape.

Finally we made it to a small train station and rode a very old train back to Prince's Risborough.  We got off of the old one and then made the hour long trip back to London.
