Alone in the Chilterns

In May 2023, I was planning a week-long hiking and camping trip in the Balkans. To prepare, I wanted to build on my wild camping confidence and ability to spend time alone. My planned weekend camping trip to the Yorkshire Dales unfortunately got cancelled due to train strikes. As a substitute, I took the Metropolitan line out of London (Amersham) and set out into the hills.

I was struck by how rapidly the countryside overtook Greater London suburbia. I decided to try my hand at filming some of the process. If you can handle the poor camera quality, give it a watch!
