Koko's cafÃ©

Koko's styles itself as a 'gourmet food trailer'. Tucked away behind Amersham cricket club, the simple pop-up café makes a welcome pitstop for passing walkers. Reflecting the proprietor's Bosnian origins, the signature lunchtime speciality is burek - a savoury pastry. At the time of writing, Koko's was open daily except Monday, subject to weather.

Amersham footpath 27

Far too many public footpaths around Amersham and Little Missenden are ploughed up by farmers, leaving walkers to find their own way through the crops. But there's no mistaking footpath 27, immaculately defined and properly waymarked.

Cherry Lane in Second Wood

At one time this was a through road to Amersham. Now cut off by the Amersham Bypass it's still shown as a yellow unclassified road on the map, although it has obviously not been maintained to that standard for a long time. Traffic of some sort evidently still uses it, and there even seems to have been a private attempt at street lighting, although that wasn't a success judging by the lamps hanging upside down off their pole. I came up here on the bike, and met other people on horses so I guess it's still a right of way.
