From the dance description: The dance name comes from walks in the Chiltern Hills and the dance reflects a time when a group was walking in an area of many interlocking paths. After negotiating a stile one might walk with a new companion.
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (4). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.
