Next Walk

SUNDAY 1st MARCH HAMPSTEAD to EDGWARE VINTAGE WALK (Linear) 8/9 miles

Replicating a club walk from 1888. Heath and woodland, green spaces, trace the course of the Silk Stream. May be slippery/muddy in places. Poles advisable if you use them. Picnic lunch but refreshment places en route – unlike in 1888 we might even visit the Greyhound PH in Hendon.

Meet 10.00 Hampstead Heath station (Mildmay Line Overground). All travel zones 1/2. Without a pass ticket price has gone up from 4d since 1888!

There may be time to glimpse inside the RAF museum (constructed since 1888). Places to leave the walk en route. Unlike 1888, ladies welcome!
