Anyone up (and down) for this attempt at a new route? It might not even be raining that much.

St Albans City start/finish. 20min nonstop train from St Pancras 1906 Thameslink platform B (1903 train is slower and arrives later), so we can be rolling around 7:30. Head over Dunstable Downs then across to Ivinghoe Beacon, followed by 8 miles downhill to Hemel and then back to St Albans past the sights and smells of the Buncefield fuel storage tanks.
For pre-train refreshments, I think we can try the Mad Squirrel Tap which is down a little alley once we get back into town.
Trains back every 20mins, last sensible one 2347 but there's a 0025 too. ~25 miles BTCL.
Dunstable downs cafe closes 5pm sadly, but it's still a reasonable pitstop with a good view.
This is a bit more road-y than lane-y so let's see what we make of it.
