Hanwell, Brentford, Strand on the Green. Chiswick

Great fun was had by all on this lovely walk along the Grand Union canal and the challenge of negotiating the rapid changes along the thames path in Brentfod. What a difference a few years make
Even greater fun awaited us in the pub who were exceptionally accomodating. It was full of football supporters as there was a Brentford home match against Liverpool at 3pm that day. This created a bit of trepidation in the hearts of LWG members for whom football is strange game with rowdy behour often reported. Evryone behavesd impeccably-footal supporters and LWG members- with a great atmosphere of excitement for all
