Forthcoming Walks

Thursday 21st August 2025

A tribute to a trusty knee FULLY BOOKED

Event Type: Group Walk. 

Region: Southern England / London
 
Distance: 10 miles
 
Start Time:  10:45
 
Route: Meet at Fenchurch Street Station (main entrance). A compilation of some favourite sections from previous London walks: to include churches, boundary markers, blue plaques, roof tops & of course the odd alley or byway. All to celebrate the imminent retirement of a long serving loyal right knee. An attempt to get lost in our fascinating capital so do not be surprised if the finishing point is not as advertised and the route somewhat confusing. Aiming to finish 17:30 Baker Street Station
 
Notes: This will be a slow paced walk with many stops and starts. Lunch in cafe or on park bench. Please note that this walk is restricted to 12 participants AND IS NOW FULLY BOOKED. TWO SPACES AVAILABLE FOR THE REPEAT OF THIS WALK ON TUESDAY 26TH AUGUST.
