The London Loop Part 4: Northwood to Elstree
It did not rain !
I had planned to spend the weekend in the West Country, but this time bad weather rather than COVID-19 changed my plans, so despite some at times ominous looking clouds I walked another section of the loop.

This section heading East from Northwood through woodlands and the occasional golf course is very rural despite starting and finishing at Stations were you oyster card is accepted !
To be honest there is not a great amount to see on this section of the route and it is mostly easy to follow, despite a farmer near Pinnerwood doing their upmost to ignore the existence of the right of way !
The route passes just to the South of Bentley Priory, famous for it’s role during the Battle of Britain, a return to visit its museum is something to add to my list of places to visit !
