Wandle Trail

Wandle Trail. 10 people met at Wandsworth Town Station and set out in the drizzle, which soon cleared, so we had a mainly dry day with occasional sights of the sun when the clouds parted. The first section of the walk was very urban / suburban, and in the grey not particularly attractive. We found a pub in Mitcham that served good Indian food for our lunch and finished in the delightful Beddington Park. Perhaps not the walk of the year, but enjoyed by those present. What do you expect in February! Margaret M
