White Tooth to St Albans (16 miles)

"*They had a hard fight, though, before they gained the victory: a furious wind and driving snow, added to the natural difficulties, nearly turned the scale against them."* Edward Whymper On the anniversary of the 1862 first ascent of the mighty Dent Blanche, I shall be walking to St Albans to tip my hat to one of the first ascensionists, Woolmore Wigram. Leaving Elstree & Borehamwood station in Zone 6, the walk will visit a pleasant lunch stop halt the *Green Dragon* reminiscent to those familiar with Mihai's local walk. St Albans needs no introduction. Cathedral, Roman remains, many historic buildings. Entering the city, St Stephen's was founded Abbot Ulsinus in AD 948, and of the original a small window has been dated to around AD 950. TRAVEL: Walk starts 10.15 AM from ELSTREE & BOREHAMWOOD station (Zone 6). Walk ends at ST ALBANS The off peak single back from ST ALBANS CITY to Elstree is £4.30 with a Groupsave or Network card.

Our experienced members volunteer their time and effort to shape a pleasant and quality adventure for everyone :-) By participating you acknowledge and agree with this disclaimer. Here are our tips on staying safe during outdoor trips: http://www.meetup.com/Free-Outdoor-Trips-From-London/about/ TRAVEL, ACCOMMODATION, INSURANCE Although we provide detailed suggestions, each participant is expected to arrange their own travel and (if required) accommodation - this gives everyone the freedom and choice to join from wherever they want and stay wherever they want. Anyone interested in travel or outdoor insurance should also arrange this on their own. As mentioned above we always take extreme precautions, but some people may still feel safer if covered. We advise not to buy tickets until the day. People getting tickets from the same station are encouraged to meet early on the day to benefit from discounts such as GroupSave.

In 871 AD Alfred was crowned King of Wessex and established Winchester as his capital. It then remained the capital and the most important city in England until the 11th century and the arrival of William the Conqueror. • Winchester Cathedral is one of the largest in Europe, with the greatest length and longest nave. • Jane Austen, one of England’s greatest novelists, is also buried at the Cathedral in 1817 (aged 41 ) • Ruins of Wolvesey Castle: palace of the Bishops of Winchester was built between 1130 - 71. • The Great Hall of Winchester Castle is the legendary place of the round table and where King Arthur and his Knights congregated - a replica table from the 13th century still hangs there. The Great Hall is all that remains of the medieval castle originally constructed for William the Conqueror in 1067. ```
