OFS Donation to the Chiltern Society Donate a Gate scheme

Last year the Society made a donation to the Chiltern Society and at last the gates have been installed on footpath 27 in Bledlow. The gates are either side of the Chinnor to Princes Risborough railway line and are accessed from the lane running off Manor Close across to Bakehouse Farm. The money we donated was sufficient for two gates and was match funded by Buckinghamshire County Council to allow for one more gate to be placed in the same area.

We will be able to admire these gates on Saturday 9th October on a walk which has been designed by Nick Moon and will be led by him. If you can't make it then another walk organized by the Wycombe Ramblers is on 18th November, please check the walks programme for details. At the last committee meeting it was resolved to donate a further £750 to purchase three more gates, and we will keep you informed where they will be installed.
