Your point 1, cuts to the core, it assumes (as with most theories) that the Britons are moving in a singular group and acting as an army. They don't need to be, the text doesn't say or even imply they are and such an interpretation seems to be actually quite unlikely. We don't share this assumption.
Your point 2 & 3, I disagree with you (obviously) the Chiltern escarpment is very long, accessible and uninterrupted, impossible to block even if the defenders are aware of an approach from east or west. Church Stowe is a very different and remarkable terrain of a detached "Y"shaped ridge where terrain and tight vegetation constraints force an almost singular entrance from the East.
Having exercised our regular and fundamental difference I'm going to bow out now... I have to do a Design Review on a site at none other than Chivery Top, almost as big a coincidence as the de Segrave connections.....
