Welcome
We are a group who enjoy the camaraderie of walking and the shared experience of exploring the rich country in and around London. We walk three times a month. The main walk is on the third w/e of the month-saturday Jan to June and sunday July to December. This is a reccied walk usually with a pub lunch. We also walk the first Friday of the month . This is an unreccied walk with access via train.And we just have started « Slow Lane Walks » on the 2 nd Wednesday of the month. A shorter, slower walk based on a place of interest for members who are walking more slowly and cannot manage the distances of the regular walks.
Most of our walks are within an hours traveling distance of Central London but can be further in the summer months and once a year we arrange an away weekend. New comers are always welcome.
Walk Reports
It was a beautiful cold and frosty morning that 7 of us set off across Richmond Park with heads high and a brisk walking manner until arriving at the pub 3 hrs later- mood maintained - for a jolly lunch and the chance to exchange new year greetings and to swap news with Jane - Emeritus leader- who guided us through the early years of the group,
The sun shone as 12 walkers met at Waterloo staion and set off with a spring in their step. South of the river was at its best to welcome us. Gardens old, gardens being regenerated under the guidnace of the Garden museum, Vauxhall gardens beingused for recreation as of old- updated to boules.
18 members had a reallly great day out beautifully organised by Martyn
3 great churches with knowledgeable and amusing guides
And we found out why London snug is called a snug. It is a small space in which we had to 'snuggle' together for space to eat lunch. All great fun
