Expedition

I had considered doing this as a walk, but woke up on the day nowhere near ready for 12 hours of walking. I changed the plan to using public transport, then busied myself for most of the morning with unrelated stuff, leaving with very little time to solidify my plans.

The only realistic option was to take a bus, but I don't know a good way of finding the best options by bus. I default to google maps, but it doesn't share my preference of taking a single bus with a substantial walk either side over taking 3 separate buses. It did manage to point me towards bus 100 as an option, and I found that taking it as far as Rowsham then following the Aylesbury Ring footpath to the hash to be a satisfactory plan.

Leaving home at 1:50, I followed google maps (along a mostly familiar route) to the bus stop, where I had time to double check that there was a return bus at the time I was expected to be back in Rowsham - and in fact, there was another bus an hour later just in case.
